Verlauf

Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

getmail6 is the Python 3 continuation of getmail, an extensible mail retrieval system for POP3, IMAP4, SSL-protected mailboxes, filtering, and delivery to local mail stores or external delivery agents.

Projektgeschichte

The official documentation describes getmail version 6 as a port of getmail version 5 to Python 3 without adding features. The project preserves Charles Cazabon's getmail design while carrying the code through Python 3 compatibility, XDG configuration behavior, OAuth-related fixes, and mail-server compatibility changes.

Adoptionsgeschichte

getmail6 took over an established role from getmail after Python 2 era packaging became harder to sustain. Its appearance in Homebrew, Alpine, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, and Ubuntu package sets reflects the need for a maintained fetchmail alternative in Unix-like mail setups.

Wie es verwendet wird

Practitioners configure one or more retrievers and destinations in `getmailrc`, then run `getmail` manually, from cron, or as part of a local mail workflow. Common uses include pulling mail from POP3 or IMAP accounts, writing Maildir or mboxrd files, invoking an MDA, filtering messages, and using helper commands such as `getmail_fetch`, `getmail_maildir`, and `getmail_mbox`.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package users, getmail6 matters because it keeps the conservative getmail workflow available on Python 3 systems. The project is intentionally evolutionary: compatibility fixes, configuration-path behavior, and mail-provider authentication changes carry more weight than new feature breadth.

Zeitleiste

  • 1998: The getmail copyright history begins.
  • 2019: getmail 5.14 was released by the original line.
  • 2020: getmail6 version 6.00 made the code compatible with Python 3.
  • 2020: Version 6.7 added XDG configuration-directory behavior.
  • 2025: Version 6.19.08 removed Python 2 support code.

Related projects

  • getmail6 is related to the original getmail project and to fetchmail as the older mail retriever it was designed to replace.
