Free email client software software for linux

Oracle client is a simplistic Perl-based Oracle client that tries to mimic some of the functionality of PostgreSQL and MySQLs text-based SQL clients.

It is relatively simplistic, but much more useful than dbishell or sqlplus.

The project supports readline, history, desc, and various shorthand commands like d, , c, etc.

PHP Client Sniffer is a PHP class file that allows one to quickly determine the clients browser and system information based on the HTTP_USER_AGENT string. The class can be used to generate browser specific html marks and other client side scripting.
Enhancements:
- add k-meleon support
- add camino support
- add mozilla firebird support
- add amiga support
- fixed issues with netscape and gecko browsers

MailStore is a tool that is built in python and provides a mail proxy for POP3,IMAP4 and SMTP protocols. However, beyond usual proxies, it makes a backup of all incoming and outgoing email and stores them in a Maildir format.

Emails then can be accessed through an IMAP server run on the same machine using the backup Maildirs as mailboxes.

The idea is to provide a realtime , centralized backup of all incoming and outgoing of an organization without the need of user intervention, especially for organizations that use shared email hosting. Many of this hosting providers allow for only POP3 based access of the email.

Secondly, due to its shared hosting environment , there is limited space hence all email ends up being downloaded directly to the client. Any backup effort has to be taken up by the user on a periodical basis. This is prone to problems due to the fact that users might either forget or a data disaster might happen in between a backup cycle.

With a backup proxy like this all email is always available at the backup proxy. Any backup need be done by the administrator only at the proxy server itself. This we believe to be a much more convenient task then backing up user systems individually.

Secondly the MailStore server will always have all the emails the user has sent or received at any point ,hence the backup will always be current. To access the email, a local IMAP server can be run that will provide the user with access to the email that has been backed up. The user may then add this account to their email client and backup all the email out of it locally. (E.g. In Outlook you would probably export all the email in the account). Following that the user will import back the mail back into its original account.

Thirdly , the system requires minimal administrator involvement. It handles the creation of new maildirs for new domain/user combinations. Hence administrators dont have extra config files to play with whenevr new users are added to the system. Whether a user exists or not is left up to the mailserver that mailStore is proxying.

The mailStore system is built in Python. It has been tested with Python 2.3 and 2.4. Any system which support Python 2.3/ Python 2.4 should be able to run it.

MusicBrainz::Client is a MusicBrainz Client API.

SYNOPSIS

use MusicBrainz::Client;
use MusicBrainz::Queries qw(:all);

my $mb = MusicBrainz::Client->new();
if(! $mb->query_with_args( MBQ_FindArtistByName, [ "Pink Floyd" ]) ) {
die("Query failed: ", $mb->get_query_error(), "n");
}
print "Found ", $mb->get_result_int(MBE_GetNumArtists), " artistsn";

This module provides access to the musicbrainz client API using a perl-ish OO interface.

morigin email classifier is a filter that classifies and tags email messages based on the DNS information of the system submitting the mail to your organization.

morigin email classifier can then be used to improve upon existing spam filters such as SpamAssassin.

GmailAgent is a application that acts as a email client and can be used by programs
like Digikam,gthumb and others to provide email access to a Gmail account.

Its written in Python and pyQT. GmailAgent is licensed under the GPL. Many programs like the ones mentioned before uses a plugins sheme to let the user start a external email client to compose a message with selected files from the program as attachments.

The problem with Gmail is that its webbased and only accessible through the internet.
GmailAgent provides a simple local email frontend where the user can fill in a address and
type some message. It uses libgmail to send the message to the Gmail account which will process it further.

GmailAgent supports the remote command syntax from Mozilla so any program which provide the user with a Mozilla choice can use GmailAgent. When this syntax isnt used GmailAgent tries to make a educated guess.

In addition to the above, GmailAgent is now also supported by the kipi project. So with programs that use these plugins, like Digikam, KimDaBa,Gwenview, and others you can just choose GmailAgent as your email agent.

Ghoti is a GUI-based IRC Client for unix/linux, written in Perl, and distributed under the GPL. Ghoti IRC Client has an uncanny similarity to mIRC.
Main features:
- Multi-server support
- Fully customisable GUI
- DCC Resume support
- Support for mIRC colours
- Robust CTCP flood protection
- Built in XDCC/CDCC file offering
- On-event sounds (if you really must)

Mail::Toaster is an installer for a collection of software which provides a full-featured mail server. The system is built around the qmail mail transport agent, with many additions and modifications
Main features:
- SMTP Mail Server (SMTP-AUTH, chk-user, SPF, TLS, tarpitting, RBL)
- Virtual Domain Hosting w/delegated administration
- Virtual Domain Users
- Mailing List (Ezmlm)
- AutoResponder
- Web Based E-Mail (Sqwebmail, Squirrelmail, V-Webmail)
- Web Based Domain Administration
- Mail Filtering (rbls, SpamAssassin, simscan, Qmail-Scanner)
- Virus Scanning (ClamAV, F-Prot, Uvscan)
- SMTP roaming via SMTP-AUTH, POP-AUTH, & IMAP-AUTH
- SMTP roaming via SMTP-submission (port 587)
- POP3, POP3-SSL
- IMAP, IMAP-SSL (Courier IMAP)
- CGI frontend to mail features
- Log processing and pretty graphs (via RRDutil)
- Auto-Installs of MySQL, Apache, phpMyAdmin, and more
- Centralized configuration files
- Support for clusters of qmail servers
- Builds SSL certs for Apache, Qmail, & Courier
Security - Mail::Toaster supports secure connections from the email client (via POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and webmail) to the server. If the remote (destination) email server supports it, we also encrypt the email as it travels across the public Intenet from server to server. Thus, if you happen to be using two Mail::Toasters and your email clients are configured to use SSL, you have a fully encrypted path from the email sender to the final recipient.
State of the Art Filtering - Mail::Toaster has sophisticated filtering capabilities built right in. A default installation blocks all viruses and will detect 85% of the spam. With a little bit of training, its reasonable to expect and achieve 99% spam filtering accuracy.
Flexibility - Mail::Toaster provides an extremely flexible framework to allow you to build your email system your way. This flexibility makes it easy to migrate existing systems to Mail::Toaster and also allows Mail::Toaster to work in diverse environments and OS platforms.
Support - There is a thriving and active support community available on the mailing list. The web forums are also frequented by quite a few helpful folks. If you need more support than folks are willing to provide, commercial support is available.
Enhancements:
- Primarily code quality improvements.
- Rewrites of major portions of the code using techniques described in Perl Best Practices.
- Many more tests, much better tests, and more error testing within the functions.
- A new Webmail interface.
- Its not terribly "pretty" yet, but is much more user friendly and functional.
