Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Fetchmail is a robust and well-documented remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it to your local machine's delivery system, so it can be read by normal mail user agents, such as mutt, elm, pine, (x)emacs/gnus, or mailx. fetchmailconf, an interactive GUI configurator suitable for end-users, is included in the fetchmailconf package.
