getmail is a simple mail retrieval agent intended as a replacement for fetchmail, implemented in Python. [5] It can retrieve mail from POP3, [3] IMAP4, [5] and Standard Dial-up POP3 Service servers, with or without SSL. It supports simple and domain (multidrop) mailboxes, mail filtering via any arbitrary program, and supports a wide variety of mail destination types, including mboxrd, maildir, [3] [6] and external arbitrary mail delivery agents. [5] Unlike fetchmail, getmail's Python foundation makes it nearly immune to buffer overflow security holes.[ citation needed] It also has a simpler configuration syntax than fetchmail, but supports fewer authentication protocols. The software can also function as a basic mail delivery agent. [5]
Getmail is free software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. [1] It is written and maintained by Charles Cazabon. [1]
The original getmail software requires Python 2, which is no longer supported. A fork named getmail6, which is not from getmail's original author, provides Python 3 support.
