Slightly off-topic (flames in private mail, please), but applicable to mutt: getmail 0.98 is now available from http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail/ getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail, for those who don't need all of its various features, configuration options, and bugs. It retrieves mail only from POP3 servers, and delivers reliably to Maildirs. mbox delivery is also possible, but should not be attempted over NFS. It is written in Python and released under the GPL version 2. It can retrieve all mail, or only unread messages, from an unlimited number of POP3 mailboxes on one or more POP3 servers. Configuration and usage is straightforward and simple. getmail now has experimental support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, with delivery instructions on a per-recipient basis. Changes since version 0.95: -experimental support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes. Please read the documentation for configuration and limitation information. -Slightly changed creation of 'From ' mbox delimiter line for overly picky mail clients. -Options to delete retrieved mail, and to only retrieve unread mail, can now be specified on a per-account basis in the .getmailrc file. The options are specified in each account section, with 'delete=value' and 'readall=value', where value is '1', 'true', or 'yes', or '0', 'no', or 'false'. -Changed password entry method. -Fixed a bug which resulted in failure to deliver to an mbox file when there was no Return-Path: header in a retrieved email. -Fixed a bug where explicitly specifying the --dont-delete or -l options (even though they are the default) caused mail to be deleted from the POP3 server. -The GETMAIL environment variable is now unnecessary if your getmail configuration/data directory is located at $HOME/.getmail -Some unnecessary code removed. -Exit codes changed. 0 means mail retrieved, 1 means no mail, -1 means fatal error, and 100/101 are exits due to options --help and --dump. Any questions, feedback, etc, is greatly appreciated, but should be done in private email.
