Something about your getmail installation is broken.  The item it's
complaining about not being defined actually is defined and exported by the
baseclasses module, the contents of which is imported at the top of
retrievers.py.

Try removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/getmailcore (and any other
getmail-related directories/files there) and re-installing 5.14.
