Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: 968...@bugs.debian.org * Package name : getmail6 Version : 6.4 Upstream Author : roland.punta...@gmail.com * URL : https://github.com/getmail6 * License : GNU GPL version 2 Programming Lang: Python Description : Mail retriever with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SDPS
getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves mail (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3/IMAP4/SDPS servers for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into a qmail-style Maildir, mbox file or to a command (pipe delivery) like maildrop or procmail, specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes. The current getmail package only works with python2. But debian has moved to python3. Therefore getmail6, which is designed to work with python3, should be added to Debian. No need to update the current debian getmail package. Just somebody should maintain a new independent getmail6 pacakge.
