fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, well-documented remote
|
|
|
|
|
mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over
|
|
|
|
|
on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It
|
|
|
|
|
retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it to your local
|
|
|
|
|
(client) machine's delivery system, so it can then be be read by
|
|
|
|
|
normal mail user agents such as elm(1) or Mail(1).

|
|
|
|
|

|
