Feature Request
Add getmail to use as a replacement for fetchmail
Context
Fetchmail is great and all but you can't use gmails oauth2 and it doesn't keep track of the messages it has downloaded locally meaning it marks mails as read on the origin server. getmail has both of these features and there is even a python 3 port (getmail6) in the Debian Bullseye repo
Is your Feature Request related to a Problem?
No
Describe the Solution you'd like
Add getmail as an alternative to fetchmail
Are you going to implement it?
No, and I understand that it is highly likely no one will implement it. Furthermore, I understand that this issue will likely become stale and will be closed.
What are you going to contribute??
Whatever I can ;)
Additional context
N/A
Alternatives you've considered
2nd Docker container running getmail, it could deliver direct to Maildir folders, trouble is that bypasses the sieve filtering in Dovecot which reduces functionality. Alternatively that 2nd container could run an MTA too which could deliver to dma but that seems to be a bit redundant and wasteful of resources.
Who will that Feature be useful to?
Anyone who uses GMail as an IMAP Mailbox or who would like to be able to keep the original messages as unread.
What have you done already?
I've started looking through the existing code with an eye to adapting the fetcmail stuff but not sure if I'll get anywhere
