It is used to handle intermittent email connections +by acting as a coupling that seamlessly batch forwards fetched mail from your +mail server to your local delivery system, allowing you to read it with your +favourite mail user agent. Fetchmail also includes useful spam filtering and +multi-user functions. + +A typical use of fetchmail is to connect to your ISP's POP3 server, +downloading your mail into the INBOX on your local computer. You may then +read the mail, offline if you want, using pine, mutt, or any standard mail +user agent. + +WWW: http://www.fetchmail.info/ |
