getmail runs on basically any platform. It’s designed to, and written in a language that helps to maintain cross-platform compatibility. getmail is known to run on the following platforms: • Linux-based GNU systems (all distributions) • HURD-based GNU systems • FreeBSD • OpenBSD • NetBSD • HP/UX • Sun Solaris • IBM AIX • Digital/Compaq Tru64 (a.k.a OSF/1) UNIX • SGI Irix • other commercial Unices • Digital VMS / OpenVMS • BeOS • Amiga OS • OS/2 • Cygwin on Windows • Macintosh OS X • Macintosh OS 9 But getmail will also run on other, less common platforms. The only real requirement is that Python run on that platform, and porting Python is generally very easy.
