Thanks for jogging my memory.  It has been so long since I configured
getmail that I forgot that getmail can serve unrelated accounts and
deliver to multiple locations, each with its own structure (mbox or
maildir).

I suppose I need to reduce the limit of the number of messages
downloaded in a sesson, so as to enable more frequent checks for
incoming messages.  At present getmail runs every three minutes.
But I do not have a feel for the load imposed on a mail server by
frequent checks.  Would an ISP frown on a check every minute?

And I keep forgetting about maildrop, which I have used in the past.
