+getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves mail
+(either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3 servers
+for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into a qmail-style
+Maildir (or mbox file) specified on a per-account basis. It also has support
+for domain (multidrop) mailboxes.
