    Summary: Full-featured POP/IMAP/ETRN mail retrieval daemon
    Description: 
    Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, and 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 read by normal
    mail user agents such as Mutt, Elm, Pine, (X)Emacs/Gnus or Mailx.
    
    Fetchmail supports every remote-mail protocol currently in use on the
    Internet (POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all IMAPs, ESMTP ETRN) for
    retrieval.  Then Fetchmail forwards the mail through SMTP or a mail
    delivery agent (MDA) program of your choice, so you can
    read it through your normal mail client.
    
    You may also want to install and configure a local SMTP server, such
    as postfix-smtpd, as that's what fetchmail uses for delivery
    by default.
