NAME
getmail_fetch - retrieve messages from one or more POP3 or POP3-over-
SSL mailboxes and deliver to a maildir, mboxrd-format mbox file, or
external MDA
SYNOPSIS
getmail_fetch [OPTIONS] SERVER USERNAME PASSWORD DESTINATION
DESCRIPTION
getmail_fetch retrieves messages from POP3 or POP3-over-SSL mailboxes
and delivers to a maildir, mboxrd, or external MDA. This command is
intended primarily for scripting, and as such does not require a
client-side configuration file, and does not record any state.
The DESTINATION argument is interpreted as follows:
If it begins with a dot or a slash and ends with a slash, it is assumed
to be a path to a maildir.
If it begins with a dot or a slash and does not end with a slash, it is
assumed to be a path to an mboxrd file.
If it begins with a pipe, it is assumed to be a path to an external MDA
command. Note that arguments can be included in this string by sepa‐
rating them by whitespace; untrusted data must not be used in con‐
structing this string.
