mpop is a fast and simple fetchmail replacement to retrieve mail from POP3 servers. Its main features are header based mail filtering, multiple authentication methods, TLS encrypted connections or delivery.
There are a few things mpop can do that fetchmail can't or that it does better:
o mpop never ever tries to parse mail information except for the envelope-from address, which is the bare minimum that it has to do. o mpop never ever alters mail messages except for adding a "Received" header, which is the bare minimum that it has to do. o mpop uses several techniques (including pipelining) to reduce the POP3 protocol overhead. It is therefore much faster than fetchmail. o By default, mpop stores the mail UIDs (unique ids) in one file per account. You can poll different mail accounts in parallel. o The progress output is nicer ;-) o You can pipe the headers of a mail through a filter that decides if the mail should be downloaded, skipped, or deleted. This allows to delete junk mail from a POP3 server without downloading the entire message. o mpop can deliver mails directly to mbox and maildir mail folders.
