Correct.  getmail uses the Python standard library modules for low-level POP
and IMAP implementation, and those do not support the use of STARTTLS.

It could be done, but it's a lot of work.  The Python maintainers added
STARTTLS support to imaplib in Python 3.2, but getmail can't use that yet.

No.  I only distribute getmail from my own website.
