getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail.
It retrieves mail (either all messages, or only unread messages)
from one or more POP3/IMAP4/SDPS servers for one or more email
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. getmail also has support for
domain (multidrop) mailboxes.
.
Supported protocols:
POP3, POP3-over-SSL, IMAP4, IMAP4-over-SSL, and SDPS mail.
