Dear Maintainer,

getmail used to have a /usr/bin/getmails command. It scanned the .getmail directory
to look for all configurations available and then get the mails.

After upgrading to buster this command dirapeared. I have only /usr/bin/getmail --without the s.

Pleaze gimme back the getmails command.

Hi,

I think you meant to say "after upgrading to Bullseye".
Can you please install the package from "bullseye-backports"..
Previously it used to be a Debian specific wrapper for getmail, which
was removed when getmail was upgraded to getmail6. But getmail6
upstream has now added it in the source and so its available as part
of getmail6.

Yes.

Thanks. Swearing a few hours against my computer, I succeed to replace
it by a naive version of mine.

Regards.
