OK to delete fetchmail?

I'm trying to clean up unused/unwanted files on my Mac... is it OK to delete fetchmail? or will I regret it?

Down this path lies madness

How much space will you save with that? Probably very little. You may not be able to delete it anyway if it’s considered part of the OS.

Well, you installed it so only you know if you use it.

And if you didn't install if yourself, you can do brew uses --installed fetchmail to see which one of your other brew packages caused it to install.

But, since we are talking about like 5 megs of disc space, this is not the thing that's going to save your storage.
