Description

A command-line utility for retrieving mail from remote mail servers and delivering it locally or to another mail system. It supports workflows where messages are pulled from POP or IMAP accounts by a background job or script.

Use it when you intentionally manage mail delivery outside a full desktop client. Protect stored credentials and test delivery rules carefully to avoid losing or duplicating messages.
