Begin3 Title: getpop3 Version: 1.08 Entered-date: May 5, 1996 Description: getpop3 is a pop3 client that is designed specifically to be used on Linux systems whose connection to the Internet is a temporary dialup. It can be installed to be run at frequent intervals from cron, without worrying about what would happen if the network connection is down, or is shut down in a middle of downloading mail from a pop3 server. getpop3 is fully compatible with your E-mail system. Mail downloaded by getpop3 will be delivered just like SMTP-delivered mail, which means that it will be processed by procmail, or any other filter program you installed. Version 1.08 now provides improved support for the qmail MTA. getpop3 supports UIDL tags, to assure reliable delivery of messages, without duplicates. You can set up getpop3 to download mail from more than one POP3 maildrop and deliver it to a single Linux mailbox, all in one shot. That should be very helpfull to people who have accounts with more than one ISP.
