getmail_mbox(1) User Commands getmail_mbox(1)NAME
getmail_mbox - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style locking.
SYNOPSIS
getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH
DESCRIPTION
Deliver a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named PATH. PATH must start with a dot or a slash and must not
end with a slash. fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires another type of locking (such as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA con-
figured for that style of locking instead.
getmail_mbox uses the SENDER environment variable to construct a Return-Path: header field and the contents of the RECIPIENT environment
variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at the top of the message. SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.
--verbose, -v
print a status message on success

getmail_fetch(1) User Commands getmail_fetch(1)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
separating them by whitespace; untrusted data must not be used in constructing this string.

-v, --verbose
