accounts, and reliably delivers into a qmail-style Maildir, mbox
file or to a command (pipe delivery) like maildrop or procmail,
specified on a per-account basis. getmail6 also has support for
domain (multidrop) mailboxes.
.
Supported protocols:
POP3, POP3-over-SSL, IMAP4, IMAP4-over-SSL, and SDPS mail.
