- Description:
- Fetchmail is a full-featured IMAP/POP2/POP3/APOP/KPOP/ETRN/ODMR client with
easy configuration, daemon mode, forwarding via SMTP or local MDA, and
superior reply handling. It is used to handle intermittent email connections
by acting as a coupling that seamlessly batch forwards fetched mail from your
mail server to your local delivery system, allowing you to read it with your
favourite mail user agent. Fetchmail also includes useful spam filtering and
multi-user functions.
A typical use of fetchmail is to connect to your ISP's POP3 server,
downloading your mail into the INBOX on your local computer. You may then
read the mail, offline if you want, using pine, mutt, or any standard mail
user agent.

mail/fetchmail: update to 6.5.4
BUGFIXES:
* socket: avoid crash when writing to a socket without SSL/TLS fails.
Reported by Andrea Venturoli via mailing list, fixes #71.
* wolfSSL support: avoid fetchmail.c compilation failure in certain
configurations of wolfSSL (for instance, on FreeBSD's wolfssl-5.8.0_1
package), OpenSSL_version enables a newer 1.1.x compat API that passes its
argument to a wolfSSL API, with OPENSSL_DIR and OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR, causing
related compiler failures.

mail/fetchmail: update to 6.5.3
= BUGFIXES:
* IMAP: Reinstate workaround for missing IDLE support if --idle is requested.
This had been a long-standing feature but got broken in fetchmail 6.4.22
(commit 616e8c70). Thanks to Lukáš Tesař for the detailed report including
a Git bisect that identified this faulty commit. Fixes Gitlab issue #69.
* IMAP: Only print 'will idle after poll' if --idle is enabled
and either offered by the server, or forced through --forceidle.
This fixes a regression introduced in fetchmail 6.4.22 (commit 616e8c70).
