Free imap idle software for linux

IMAP utils software contains a set of simple utilities for managing IMAP emails.
imap-purge
Purges old read and unread mails from folders.
imap-folders
Creates folders on IMAP.
imap-stats
Shows summary about unread and unseen mails.
Enhancements:
- Several new scripts for reading and storing messages were added.

sKimap SuperKaramba theme will display the number of new and unread emails in your imap mail account. It can monitor your imap server mailboxes for new and unread messages. It will auto-size itself to accommodate the number of mailboxes you are watching.

The number of mailboxes is only limited by your screen real-estate. You can choose which of the mailboxes on your account you want to watch.

You can set the update interval, and which email client opens when you click the top of the theme. Configuration is all done through a configuration dialog.

The Net::IMAP::Simple library provides a simple-to-use, yet feature-rich Perl to IMAP API.
Enhancements:
- Fixed error in sample code within the POD documentation identified by Matthew S. Hallacy

rss2imap is a tool which gets RSS (RDF Site Summary) from web and delivers to the IMAP server as an e-mail message.
rss2imap enables you to use IMAP supported MUA as a RSS reader and to use IMAP functionality effectively such as unread mail management. You can choose mail format, either text/plain or text/html.
If you are tired of maintaining rss with more than one distributed client and DISLIKE web interface like google reader or bloglines, this software may be for you. rss2imap is an easy to use, preferable software for those who maintain imap server.
Main features:
- RSS 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, Atom 0.3 support.
- text/html, text/plain mail format support.
- rss2imap helps HTML inline presentation.(HTML mode only: this is borrowed by Mozilla Thunderbird)
- You can unify unread RSS article management via IMAP. This is useful in case of using multiple client.
- IMAP over SSL support
- Connect via proxy, proxy authentication support.
- import configuration file from opml.
- export opml file from configuration file.
- Generate IMAP Folder dynamically from every RSS title, and so on.
- If rss2imap detects update of web site, it changes timestamp of mail and make its status unread. This feature is useful for site update check.
- For example, you can import Hatena antenna. rss2imap enables you to unify mail check and site update check.
- Automatically delete expired article.
- By executing in channel mode, it can work as simple Antenna.
- Reduce needless traffic by using If-Modified-Since header.
- rss2imap doesnt cache mail in a local machine.
- rss2imap can work in daemonized mode. You can use it without cron.

IMAP Calendar Proxy implements an HTTP proxy that converts HTTP PUT requests of vcalendar data to separate messages stored on an IMAP server.

IMAP Calendar Proxy project can be used with Mozilla Sunbird/Calendar to allow storage of a calendar via IMAP.

There are many issues with the program in its current state. Consider it alpha quality, and you may lose calendar data if you use it. Its more of a proof of concept right now. Its rather slow if you have a large calendar.

Ideally IMAP support should be built into Mozilla. This is just a hack. Id like to hear any feedback on how it works. See the TODO file for features Id like to implement.

Sunbird can post calendars to a remote HTTP server via HTTP PUT and to
synchronize via a GET before a PUT. This proxy should run on the same system
you run Sunbird on. It makes a connection to an IMAP server and selects
a specified folder.

It then retrieves all calendar data from that server and caches it it memory. Any changed to the calendar are HTTP PUT to this proxy, and it determines what to do on the IMAP server (delete, change, add). Instead of posting the whole calendar back to the server, it only posts the differences.

If you run the proxy elsewhere on the network, you will not get any bandwidth
savings because the HTTP PUT and GET are still done over the network.

pam_imap is a PAM module that authenticates against a remote IMAP or IMAPS server.
pam_imap program supports multiple servers, SSL, password caching, user blacklists (for admin users), and many configuration abilities.
Examples of recommended use:
1) A lab of UNIX/Linux machines that would require an easily accessible password database from an IMAP server
2) Authenticating users against a centralized password server that you have no control over, and it conveniently has an IMAP server. (The arms-tied-behind-your-back scenario)
3) Authenticating with applications that do not run as root. (Apache is a good example -- read user-testimonials below)
4) An IMAP cluster authentication relay -- pam-imap can be used for a cheap IMAP cluster solution. Have one or two master IMAP servers that have a username/password database (be it LDAP, shadow, etc) and an IMAP server. Have several cluster node servers to handle the bandwidth of client requests , and use pam-imap on each node to authenticate against the master server(s). (The node machines will use pam-imap in their imap service file)
Tie everything together with round-robin DNS and NFS mail folders, and you have yourself an IMAP cluster!
Main features:
- User BlockList: Allows pam-imap to ignore authenticating users such as root, apache, and others.
- Password caching: Possibly usefull in situations where network connections are slow, or server loads are high. Has a few security risks however. Checkout the README file for more info.
- Support for username@domain.com style logins. With Micro$oft style IMAP servers, the "@domain.com" can be appended to the UNIX username for easy compatability.
- Customizable "Password: " string... You could change it to anything! Maybe, "IMAP Password: " The possibilities are endless.

TookieMail is a webmail client. It mimics some of the things that Gmail does, such as the way attachments work and the auto-complete addressbook feature.

Currently, TookieMail only works with IMAP and SMTP. It has been tested with Courier IMAP only.

TookieMail project should work with any IMAP server that uses the "INBOX." prefix for folders.

Installation:

Head over to the config directory. Edit the server.php file.

Just put your info in place of the default info. Typically, it wont need to be changed unless your mail server is not on the local host.

IMAPEngine provides an IMAP server which retrieves via POP3 and organizes mail in a database.
IMAPEngine is an IMAP server that uses a tdbengine database structure to store all accounts, messages, and mailboxes. This means it has nearly no limits in numbers, sizes, and performance, and it uses indexes to sort/find its data.
IMAPEngine is IMAP4Rev1 compatible and also has built-in support for the ACL, ID, IDLE, and UIDPLUS extensions. It is not (yet) an MTA, but it retrieves incoming messages from different POP3 servers. An simple integrated Web interface makes account configuration easy.
Enhancements:
- corrected imapfetch.mod
- included easyserver web server and developed index.mod for web based account configuration
- created imapconfig.mod for basic account setup on command line (better use the web frontend!)
- code cleanups, restructuring and some performance tweaking
- improved the table structure: bodies are stored as BLOB now. This raises the download performance significantly on big emails (more than ~2 MB)
- added the UIDPLUS extension as defined in RFC 2359. Mozilla Mail can handle it properly
- free client dependend flags now can be used (e.g. "Junk" sign of Mozilla Mail)
- the LIST and LSUB commands are now processed as defined in the IMAP4Rev1
- smaller semaphore scopes to each command that writes to the db, so table locks use only the minimum amount of time they need
- added the NAMESPACE extension as defined in RFC 2342
- added the ACL extension as defined in RFC 2086 (the commands are all implemented, but the rights are not yet mentioned by the server)
- added the IDLE extension as defined in RFC 2177 (though not sending any information when idle!)
- added the ID extension as defined in RFC 2971
