2. Command line mode of receiving mail
There are two main ways to collect email messages via email clients: POP3 and IMAP, mail clients download messages on the server via POP3, but IMAP defaults to download only the subject of the message. Based on the meaning of command line automation, it is more suitable to adopt POP3.

sudo apt-get install Getmail4
2.2 Configuration Getmail4 and simple examples
Execute command at terminal after installation

Server = pop.qq.com #如果是gmail则改为pop. gmail.com
Username = Budda
Password = password
[Destination]
Type = Maildir
Path = Directory created by ~/.getmail/maildir/#就是刚才在 ~/.getmail/, note that there must be new,cur,tmp in this directory three subdirectories
[Options]
Read_all = False #只接受以前没有收取的邮件, and if changed to true, all messages in the mailbox will be charged

# configuration file ends here
After editing, run at the terminal:
Getmail--rcfile=getmailrc.buddha
Getmail will automatically receive mail, downloaded messages will be saved under ~/.getmail/maildir/new/.
2.3 Using Munpack to extract attachments from the message
The message body and attachment are saved as a whole file, attachments are attached in MIME format to the whole file and must be extracted by program.
Under Ubuntu, you can search for installation mpack with the new software package Manager, or sudo apt-get install MPack
Running in a terminal: Munpack mail_file
The program automatically identifies the attachment and extracts it.
