Getmail

26 May 2012
-ensure getmail exits nonzero if various error conditions (like POP/IMAP
authentication failure) occur. Thanks: Ryan J., Stephan Schulz.
-python versions prior to 2.5.0 contain a bug when dealing with read-only
IMAP mailboxes. Monkey-patch imaplib when running with Python<2.5.0.
Thanks: Les Barstow.
-do IMAP modified-utf7 conversion of mailbox names containing non-ASCII
characters. Thanks: A. Lapraitis, Randall Mason.
-add special ALL value for retrieving mail from all selectable IMAP
mailboxes in the account.
-change IMAP retrieval strategy to retrieve all messages from a mailbox,
then move on to the next mailbox, etc. Should result in increased speed,
but if you set `max_messages_per_session` too low, this could result in
later mailboxes not being retrieved from.

20 May 2012
-make use of IMAP BODY.PEEK configurable; set the IMAP retriever parameter
`use_peek` to False to disable use of PEEK to get getmail's historical IMAP
behaviour.

14 April 2012
-switch to using BODY.PEEK in IMAP retrieval; I no longer see problems with
this feature in my testing. If users experience incompatibility with any
IMAP servers where 4.25.0 worked, please let me know.

1 February 2012
-add support for storing POP/IMAP password in OSX keychain. Thanks: Adam
Lazur.

11 December 2011
-add an explicit expunge when closing an IMAP mailbox, for servers that
incorrectly do not do this when the mailbox is closed. Thanks: Nicolas
Pomarède.
-fix incorrect section reference for `mailboxes` parameter in documentation.
Thanks: Ross Boylan.
-fix getmail_fetch broken in 4.21.0. Thanks: Chris Donoghue.

-fix race if new message shows up in POP3 mailbox between running the UIDL
and LIST commands. Thanks: Roland Koebler, Osamu Aoki.
