- Description
- ===========
-
- 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 read by normal mail user agents such as elm(1) or Mail(1).
- You can find the documentation and examples under doc/fetchmail/. fetchmail
- supports standard all mail-retrieval protocols in use on the Internet: POP2,
- POP3 (including POP3 with RFC1938 one-time passwords), RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all
- flavors of IMAP (including IMAP4rev1 with RFC1731 Kerberos v4 authentication),
- and ESMTP ETRN. This is the replacement for the old popclient program.
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- Use the Installer.app.
- The recommended location for fetchmail is /usr/local/.
