Installation

You basically have two options to install this Go program package:

1. If you have Go installed and configured on your PATH, just do the following go get inside your GOPATH to get the latest version:

go get -u github.com/mback2k/go-getmail

2. If you do not have Go installed and just want to use a released binary, then you can just go ahead and download a pre-compiled Linux amd64 binary from the Github releases.

Finally put the go-getmail binary onto your PATH and make sure it is executable.

Configuration

The following YAML file is an example configuration with one transfer to be handled:
