What is Animail FOR LINUX?

Animail

Animail is a handy mail retrieval tool that works with POP3, APOP, and IMAP4 protocols. It can even use SSL if you want that extra layer of security! What makes Animail really cool is its ability to team up with other filters. This means you can mix its filtering skills with any external filters you choose. After it downloads a message, it runs those filters before delivering the mail. Depending on what those filters say, the message could be delivered right away, ignored, or sent to a log mailbox for later review.

Key Features of Animail

Let’s break down some awesome features that make Animail stand out:

• You can set up multiple filters based on message size or limit how many messages to download. Plus, you can delete messages on the server if they match certain rules in your config file!


• It plays well with other mail filters like SpamAssassin or Bogofilter. Think of them as plugins that boost its filtering power!


• You can grab emails from different servers and save them in a local mailbox format like mbox or send them to an SMTP server like Sendmail.


• If you have SMTP activated, you can forward downloaded emails to another address or even a list of addresses!


• You get to choose how messages are downloaded based on their size—so if you want the smaller ones first while waiting for those hefty attachments, no problem!


• There’s a silent mode too! It sends all output to the system log instead of cluttering up your console. Great for scripts checking mail regularly.


• The output is super friendly compared to Fetchmail and other similar tools. You’ll see where each message comes from and a progress percentage as it downloads. Tired of those gigantic byte numbers? This version supports colored output for easier reading!


• Speed-wise, Animail is pretty quick! On faster computers (like x86 350+), it can outpace Fetchmail when running in text mode—especially helpful on local networks.


• Setting up Animail after installing is easy! Just create a .animail directory in your home folder and copy over the animailrc file for some quick customization.
