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.
