Getmail

6 May 2005

-change (again) handling of deleted messages vs. connection that dies.
Inability to send QUIT to POP3 server should be less problematic now.
-improve housekeeping of old message state file. Thanks: Thomas Schwinge.

-broke BrokenUIDLPOP3Retriever when I added the forget_deleted parameter
to the retrievers base class; now fixed. Thanks: Georg Neis.

3 April 2005

-make getmail less conservative about remembering messages as already-seen
when unrelated errors occur after successfully delivering them.
Thanks: Thomas Schwinge.

14 March 2005

-documentation changes; getmail v4 cannot run natively on Windows. Use
Cygwin if you must run on a Windows platform; this works.
-remove some Windows-specific code.

-previously, for safety, getmail would re-retrieve messages after a session
that encountered errors. However, getmail had enough information to safely
remember those messages that had been successfully delivered. This behaviour
has been changed, to avoid delivering duplicate messages where it isn't
necessary. Thanks: Thomas Schwinge.
-in output/log files, getmailrc files are now specified only by filename,
instead of by complete paths. This will prevent some overly-long output
lines.
-add Windows versions of functions to lock/unlock files, so mbox delivery
can be used on Windows. Thanks: Felix Schwarz.
