getmail uses the convention established by djb (the author of qmail and other
tools, who invented Maildir format) - maildirs are identified by the use of a
trailing slash on the path.  So in getmail, use that convention.  Other tools
may or may not care whether the trailing slash is present on a maildir path.

"RW"'s reply addresses this point at least as well as I could have.
