Client daemon to move mail from POP and IMAP to your local computer
Fetchmail is a mail retrieval daemon that can download messages from POP3, IMAP, ODMR and ETRN-based stores, with SSL/TLS security including certificate verification, and pass downloaded mail to a local SMTP or LMTP server, or a message delivery agent such as maildrop.
"dBird Notifier" (with interactive pop-up tray icon) shows incoming messages of the following types: email (thunderbird), twitter and icq (pidgin) - both visually with system message and RGB-LED attached to serial/usb port (hardware details included)
