I want to just look in my remote mailbox if there are some new emails arrived.

How can I use getmail for this task?

Assume my pop3 mail server is pop3.foobar.com my [email protected] my passwd=mypass123

How would an appropriate getmail commandline look like?

Again: I don't want to fetch (=download) any of these emails to the local computer.
I just want to get an answer yes/no.


Is getmail capable to establish a connection through STARTLS/SSL or only non-ecrypted connections?
