Fetchmail

Fetchmail is a super handy tool for grabbing your emails from remote servers and sending them where you want them to go. It's designed to work over on-demand TCP/IP links, like SLIP or PPP connections. So, whether you're chilling at home or on the go, Fetchmail has got your back!

What Protocols Does Fetchmail Support?

This software is pretty versatile! It supports all the popular remote-mail protocols out there, including RPOP, APOP, POP2, POP3, KPOP, various ETRN types, IMAP, and ODMR. Plus, it can handle IPv6 and IPSEC as well!

How Does Fetchmail Work?

When you set up Fetchmail, it retrieves mail from those remote mail servers and sends it out through SMTP. This way, you can read your emails using any standard mail client like mutt or BSD Mail. It keeps everything running smoothly with all the filtering and forwarding features you'd expect from regular mail.

Security Features of Fetchmail

Your security matters! Fetchmail provides better protection against password sniffing than many other Unix clients. It supports various encrypted authentication methods like APOP and CRAM-MD5 to keep your passwords safe. Plus, you can even configure it for end-to-end encryption using ssh tunneling.

Easy Configuration

No need to worry about complicated setups! Fetchmail is easy to configure. You can either edit its dotfile directly or use the user-friendly GUI configurator called fetchmailconf that comes with the package. And if you're using linuxconf versions 1.16r8 or later, you're in luck because it's supported there too!
