NAME
getmails - wrapper for getmail to access multiple mailboxes
SYNOPSIS
getmails [-p] [OPTION] ...
DESCRIPTION
getmails is a wrapper script for getmail to retrieve messages with multiple independent configuration
files ~/.getmail/config/* instead of a single ~/.getmailrc file.
The configuration file name can be any arbitrary names. It's good idea to use the corresponding email
address as its name since it is the most intuitive choice. For example ~/.getmail/config/foo@example.org
.
To disable operation for an email account temporary, rename its configuration file to the hidden file
such as ~/.getmail/config/.foo@example.org . Then, it is ignored as the configuration file.
For the robust operation, the editor generated files such as ~/.getmail/config/foo~ ,
~/.getmail/config/#foo# , ~/.getmail/config/foo.swp , and ~/.getmail/config/foo.bak are also ignored as
the configuration file.
When there are multiple email configuration files, getmails retrieves mails sequentially. But adding an
optional option -p before other options makes getmails to invoke getmail with each configuration file in
parallel to retrieve mails.
The option provided as OPTION is passed to getmail as is. The use of the -r option is not a good idea.
The existence of ~/.getmail/stop can prevent this wrapper script to execute getmail.
REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the getmail debian package if bugs are in this wrapper script.
