Getmail

15 January 2017
-fix plaintext version of docs not generated correctly. Thanks: Elijah.
-fix `getmail --fingerprint` not logging server TLS fingerprint correctly
with SimplePOP3SSLRetriever. Thanks: Gabriel Kihlman.

22 October 2016
-add `ignore_header_shrinkage` parameter to Filter_external for users who
know it is normal for their particular filter to result in a smaller message
header than the source message, for example when the filter encapsulates
the original message in a simpler wrapper message. Thanks: "RW",
Tristan Miller, Francesco Ariis.
-EXPERIMENTAL: when deleting a message from an IMAP mailbox, set the \Seen
flag in addition to the the \Deleted flag. This apparently prevents
the ever-innovatively-broken MSExchange from sending a spurious incorrect
disposition-notification message to the sender of the message. I do not
know if this will cause problems with other broken IMAP server
implementations; please send a report to the getmail-user's mailing list if
you see odd behaviour with this change. Thanks: John Hein.
-enable socket timeouts for IMAP SSL classes by default. They were disabled
in the code because they were incompatible with SSL in older versions of
Python. If you see problems with Python 2.6 or 2.7 now, please let me know.

11 September 2016
-fix exception when using MDA_External and an IMAP mailbox whose name
contains non-ASCII chars. Thanks: "drtmk".

11 July 2016
-maybe fix handling of OSX keychain passwords containing double-quote chars.
Thanks: Teddy Wing, Patrick Asselman.
-fix getmail erroring out on IMAP folders containing i18n chars.
Thanks: Jan Stühler.

Version 4.49.0
13 January 2016
-make IMAP class only issue EXPUNGE command on mailbox close if we have
actually deleted any messages from the open mailbox. Makes use of read-only
IMAP folders possible. Thanks: Zoltan Padrah.

31 May 2015
-work around brain-damaged change in Python's poplib which causes
message retrieval errors if any line of a message has more than
2048 characters in it.
-restore link to moved Marc mailing list archive. Thanks:
David J. Weller-Fahy.

25 February 2015
-try to work around pathological breakage in one random POP server
implementation. Thanks: Michael Thomas Kockmeyer.
-remove dead marc.theaimsgroup.com list archive from docs. Thanks:
Miroslav Rovis.
-bugfix: if you combined IMAP IDLE mode with delete_after, getmail would,
after remaining connected to the server for the number of days configured,
begin deleting messages immediately after retrieval instead of after the
configured delay. Now fixed. Thanks: Johannes Weißl.
