Free inbox mailer software for linux

Swift is a fully OOP Library for sending e-mails from PHP websites and applications. Swift Mailer does not rely on PHPs native mail() function which is known for using high server resources when sending multiple emails. Instead, Swift communicates directly with an SMTP server or a MTA binary to send mail quickly and efficiently.
Swift is comparable to PHPMailer except that it implements an extremely flexible and innovative plugin system meaning you can get the most out of sending emails from your PHP applications. The interface for Swift is both tighter and more intuitive.
I started developing Swift because I moderate a popular PHP forum and its clear from some of the posts we see that PHPs native mail() function just doesnt quite cut it among developers unless you know a lot about how to build emails and you only need to send one message.
The only other popular alternative was PHPMailer which is great, but it just struck me that maybe developers might want something with a little more "umff"! So I wrote Swift initially for the communtity at the PHP Developers Network Forums and have decided to release it now under the LGPL. Enjoy!

msn2mail is a MSN-to-e-mail gateway.

For install follow these steps:
make
make install

This program needs fvhlib v2.1 or later!

Create a .msn2mailrc with:
username = your msn passport address
password = password
mailer = path to sendmail
forwardto = e-mail adres to forward to

You can have multiple forwardto-lines.

example:

username = folkert@hotmail.com
password = secret
mailer = /usr/bin/sendmail
forwardto = folkert@vanheusden.com
forwardto = flok@xs4all.nl

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.

wmail is a Window Maker docklet watching your inbox, which is either a ordinary mbox or a directory conforming to qmails Maildir format.
It provides a nice little GUI displaying some useful pieces of information about your inbox (as many other nice wm-apps doing nearly the same thing...).
Per default it uses the $MAIL environment-variable to locate the inbox you are using, other mailing mechanisms like POP or IMAP are not supported - use a tool like fetchmail to retrieve POP- or IMAP-based mail.
Enhancements:
- Support for comments in From-header added (by Juergen A. Erhard - thank you!)
- Status field content recognition enhanced: now you can supply the content of a status field that markes your email as read. This is due to different behaviour of different mbox readers
- pine seems using "ro" to mark a mail as read. The given value is substring-matched.

Mail::Send is a simple electronic mail interface.

SYNOPSIS:

require Mail::Send;

$msg = new Mail::Send;

$msg = new Mail::Send Subject=>example subject, To=>timbo;

$msg->to(user@host);
$msg->to(user@host, user2@example.com);
$msg->subject(example subject);
$msg->cc(user@host);
$msg->bcc(someone@else);

$msg->set($header, @values);
$msg->add($header, @values);
$msg->delete($header);

# Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
# by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
# Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
# constructor.

$fh = $msg->open; # some default mailer
# $fh = $msg->open(sendmail); # explicit

print $fh "Body of message";

$fh->close; # complete the message and send it

$fh->cancel; # not yet implemented

Temporary Inbox is a Firefox extension that generates random disposable email addresses. You can use these email addresses for registration in forums, adult sites or whereever.

The email addresses dont require registration. This is an easy way to avoid spam, because the spamer will never get your private email address .. only the temporaryinbox.com email address. And there the emails will be deleted after 6 hours.

Avoiding spam is sooo easy!

Here is a small instruction:

FIRST! There is no registration required!!

1. The situation: You want to signup at a website. You are at the registration form and you have to enter your private email address.
2. You dont want to give away your private email address. So you decide to use an email address from temporaryinbox.com.
3. Now click the "random email" button at the temporaryinbox firefox extension toolbar.
4. A random temporary email address has been generated for you.
5. Copy it from the toolbar to the email address field in the registration form.
6. Enter the other things and submit.
7. Now you can check the inbox of your email address on temporaryinbox.com. But its easier to use the firefox extension. Just enter the email account name you used before in the left field of the toolbar and press "Check".
8. Now you will be redirected directly to the inbox of your temporaryinbox account.
9. Open the email and click on the activation link or copy the password... or whatever.
10. Delete the mail or let it be. However the mail will be deleted after 6 hours.

KMail Power Tools is meant to be a suite of enhancements to KMail and may be other mail user agents.
It is currently composed of only one (perl) script that acts as a filter (take input from stdin, outputs the modified mail to stdout), adds dialog boxes to kmail, and allows the user to:
- remove all attachments from an email (no user interaction),
- remove selectively attachments, after asking the user,
detach (i.e. save then remove) any attachment to a directory chosen by the user,
- hence reducing the size of your mailbox, while allowing you to backup important attached files.
All these actions are logged within a sentence in the mail body (see below).
Note: removing and detaching is already supported by Thunderbird, but my favourite mailer program is KMail, then...
How it works
KMail allows the definition of filters (like any other email program), but you can define filters:
- which are launched manually,
- which can be programs reading your email on stdin and outputing the result on stdout (or "pipe through").
So I had the idea to use this in order to enhance KMail, and allow it to remove and detach attachments: kmailpt will read and interpret the email (thank you Perl MIME::Parser), then depending on the command line switches, popup a dialog box to ask the user for a directory where to save attachments, and ask him which attachment to remove/detach (thank you Kdialog!).
Also, the sentence "[Attachment removed by jice (26/02/2007 20:33:01): bill.zip]" will be added to the mail body. When you detach an email, it will add a similar sentence, and if the mail body is html, you will even get a link to the new location of the file: "[Attachment saved by jice (26/02/2007 20:36:17) to heavenly.gif]", on which you can even click in order to view the detached file. For text/plain messages, the sentence will be something like: "[Attachment saved by jice (26/02/2007 20:36:17) to file:///home/jice/Images/heavenly.gif]" (unfortunately, although kmail renders http:// or ftp:// urls as links, file:// are not (yet?) - I should enter a bug on bugs.kde.org for this...).
Should you want to know the currently available command line switches, here is the help:
Usage: kmailpt [options]
kmailpt takes an email on stdin, performs actions based
on this mail, then output an email on stdout.
Without any option, it will remove any file attached.
Options:
-d detach the attachments (save and remove)
-q ask which attachment to remove
-h prints this help
