Fetchmail is a full-featured IMAP/POP2/POP3/APOP/KPOP client with easy
|
|
configuration, daemon mode, forwarding via SMTP or local MDA, and superior
|
|
reply handling. It is used to handle intermittent email connections by
|
|
acting as a coupling that seamlessly batch forwards fetched mail from your
|
|
mail server to your local delivery system, allowing you to read your it
|
|
with your favourite mail user agent. Fetchmail also includes useful spam
|
|
filtering and multi-user functions.
|
|
|
|
A typical use of fetchmail is to connect to your ISP's POP3 server,
|
|
downloading your mail into the INBOX on your local computer. You may then
|
|
read the mail, offline if you want, using Pine, mutt, or any standard mail
|
|
user agent.
|
|
|
|
Fetchmail is the lineal descendant of and replacement for the old
|
|
popclient program.
