getmail is a POP3 mail retriever, with support for both ordinary and
domain (or multidrop) POP3 mailboxes. It is written in Python, and
licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
* Retrieve mail from an unlimited number of POP3 mailboxes and
servers.
* Support for multidrop or domain mailboxes.
* Safe and reliable delivery to qmail-style Maildirs and
mboxrd-format mboxes, as well as program (pipe) delivery.
* Does not destroy information by rewriting mail headers.
* Does not cause mail loops by doing SMTP injection, and therefore
does not require that you run an MTA (like qmail or sendmail) on
your host.
* Can remember which mail it has already retrieved, and can be set
to only download new messages.
* Written in Python, and therefore easy to extend.
