getmail 4.8.4 (Stable branch)
getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds missing fsync() in the updatefile close method to ensure that data actually hits the disk before the rename takes place. This makes writing of the oldmail file more resilient to system crashes. Image

NAME

       getmail_mbox - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style locking.

SYNOPSIS

       getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH

DESCRIPTION

       Deliver	a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named PATH.	PATH must start with a dot or a slash and must not
       end with a slash.  fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires another type of locking (such as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA con-
       figured for that style of locking instead.

       getmail_mbox  uses  the	SENDER environment variable to construct a Return-Path: header field and the contents of the RECIPIENT environment
       variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at the top of the message.  SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.

       --verbose, -v
	      print a status message on success
