I didn't know getmail was deprecated, but haven't used getmail in a long time. |

Maybe deprecated because of using Python 2.x which is deprecated? Or did they/could they port to Python 3.x? |

I use mpop and msmtp but am considering other possibilities including mutt. |

I want to keep email in a format that does not limit use to one particular application. |

I tried to use fetchmail long ago, the problem was that it would not allow downloading email direct to a file. |
