>Description:
There is an issue with the code in getmail 4.5.1 which causes problems only
when used to access IMAP accounts. The author of getmail acknowledges the
problem and will have it fixed in 4.5.2.

Included is an entry in ports/UPDATING regarding the issue.

I'm not sure what the protocol/procedure for updating the affected port (i.e.:
mark the port as BROKEN, IGNORED or something else).
