Christoph, can you reproduce this on latest getmail ebuild in portage?

Exactly the same problem, getmail_fetch works, getmail_maildir and getmail_mbox
don't - maybe someone else should try it to see if it's a local problem, the
problem doesn't look arch specific to me

Got new info on this, by accident I found out that it's not really hanging,
it's reading from stdin.
I took a look at /usr/bin/getmail_mbox and found the following on line 57 (see
the output after ^C in comment 5): msg = Message(fromfile=sys.stdin)
Looks like me as if it wants to read the mail from stdin (which is not
intended, huh?), so I tried getmail_mbox ./mbox < ./mbox, that gives me a new
result, no output, but I can see reading it my mbox in strace:
stat("./mbox", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=268196, ...}) = 0
fstat(0, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=268196, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x2ac3bace8000
read(0, "From <> Thu Sep 21 19:56:08 2006"..., 8192) = 8192
[complete mail in that style here]
I cannot find any errors after that though - tell me if you want the whole
strace output.
BTW exit code after piping my mbox into getmail is 0.

Check `man getmail_mbox` - it is supposed to read from stdin.

/me gets himself a really, really big cup of RTFM.
Everything works as expected (looks like at least), mbox is created in proper
format, Maildir is filled in proper way - just a sidenot, maybe getmail_maildir
should create $maildir/(cur|new|tmp) if they don't exist. Tried 4.6.3 and .4 in
case you want to wait the 30 days for .4, they both work, someone get me an
amd64 dev to mark it stable :P

PS: Still ashamed, took a look at the manp age, but only looked for the
synopsis, which said "getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH", whereas I expected it to be
"getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH < FILE" :/
PPS: Alpha is kinda understaffed, huh?

amd64 ... late, but worth the wait
