As far as fetchmail vs getmail see:
Basically, it only says that fetchmail has (had?) several bugs or problems, dated 10 years ago. It does not compare the features of both programs in order to make an impartial decision, based on 2015 data. But I see this paragraph: +++—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Do I have to run sendmail or another MTA to use getmail? No. getmail delivers directly to maildirs, mboxrd files, or via arbitrary MDAs, and never injects mail via SMTP, so no MTA is necessary. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-++- Well, I want to inject via smtp, because that way I get a bunch of other possibilities. That is, I do not need support by the fetcher of, say, filtering. I can use the many published methods that are available when mail is delivered via an SMTP server. Ie: fetchmail -> postfix -> procmail, spamassassin, amavis, whatever. I see fetchmail as more flexible. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
