getmail6 is a fork of getmail-5.14. The project is on github
https://github.com/getmail6

It is early days but it is currently working for me fetching from POP3,
POP3 with SSL, and IMAP with ssl.

My description of what I did to get it into my overlay is shown at
https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6/issues/7#issuecomment-661534001

The instructions in the README say how to install it in a directory of
your choice.
