Fetchmail v4.1.1, August 15, 1997 =========================================== Juergen Moellenhoff (jm@oic.de), 1997-08-17 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/. Author ====== Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> Architectures ============= ALL Architectures (INTEL, MOTOROLA, HP and SUN) are supported. HP and SUN are not tested!!
