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). fetchmail supports standard all mail-retrieval protocols in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3 (including POP3 with RFC1938 one-time passwords), RPOP, APOP, KPOP, Compuserve's POP3 with RPA, Microsoft's NTLM, Demon Internet's SDPS, all flavors of IMAP (including IMAP4rev1 with CRAM-MD5 authentication), and ESMTP ETRN. Fetchmail also supports end-to-end encryption with OpenSSL.
