getmail-5.14 is pending removal in the tree due to being python2. The masking message says one needs to port it to python3. Thankfully, someone ported it and made the code available: https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6 It is already included in archlinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/getmail6/ The new maintainer did not release tarballs yet. It would be awesome if we could have the ported python3 version as -9999 (git version) in the tree so that users are not left without anything. I tested the git version with python 3.7.8-r2 and 3.8.4, it does the job without any configuration change the user (my tested use case is POP3 with gmail and office365). Reproducible: Always
Don't know the status but believe there's already work toward this, see: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/04b6efefae9af75273358795b082d53f

How is this progressing now that it's the middle of September, it's the only package holding me up from dumping Python 2.7. Thanks, and sorry for the noise.

This package is now available again (under its old name, net-mail/getmail). Thank you for your patience! Can someone with the appropiate powers close this report?
