Free pop3 hotmail software for linux

WMPop3 is a Window Maker dockable I wrote which will inform a user on how many messages are currently in thier pop3 mail box.

WMPop3 when first executed will check if there is a .wmpop3rc file in the users home directory, it will create this if it can not be located. This file must be edited and the following fields must
be changed :

1) popserver - this is the name of the pop3 server.
2) port - this is the port the pop3 server is on.( default 110)
3) username - users pop3 login name.
4) password - users pop3 login password.
5) autochecking - This allows to disable or enable auto mail checking. 1 enables, 0 disables
6) mailcheckdelay - Number of minutes, before checking mail. (default = 10 minutes)
7) mailclient - this is the mail client you use to send/retrieve messgaes(default pine)
8) viewallmessages - This allows for alternating mail views, 0 shows unread and read messages, 1 shows only unread messages.

pop3spam is a POP3 client which connects to a POP3 server and deletes unsolicited mail. If a message has been identified as unsolicited, it can be deleted directly from the POP3 server without the need to download it first.

Eventually your normal mail-retrieval utility (e.g. fetchmail) can gather all (cleaned) mail as usual. The program is intended for people with low bandwidth. Its very annoying if you first have to download lots of large messages just for the sole purpose of deleting them afterwards because your local spam filter debunked them as spam. Its also annoying to download very large messages (attachments) at all.

pop3spam doesnt use any hard wired regular expressions so it should basically work with any recent version. For information about the configuration and use of pop3spam, take a look at the man pages pop3spam(1) and pop3spamrc(5). A sample configuration file exists in the directory doc/ in the source tree.

The Perl script testmail checks e-mail available at the POP3 server (including SSL), filters it according to the defined rules, and depending on the selected method gets the messages to the local mailbox and/or removes it from the server.
Testmail uses Perl Mail-POP3Client, Net-Ping, and Socket modules and helps you escape from spam.
Enhancements:
- This release allows the user to use SSL and a specifically selected port (for example, for a Gmail mailbox).
- Testmail now uses Mail-POP3Client module instead of the libnet module.
- Configuration files were changed to add PORT, USESSL, AUTH_MODE, and DEBUG options.
- Some rejecting rules were improved.

Perl Pop3 is a POP3 server fully implemented in Perl.
The advantages over other POP3 servers are that it is not a memory hog, and can be used to connect to databases for authentication.
Also, its code is easy to extend for any other uses, like POP-before-SMTP and extended logging.
Main features:
- Does not read the mailbox into memory, it reads what it needs as it processes the mailbox, so its memory requirements are low.
- Most email delivery is just printing out to the client; this is done in a fast and efficient way.
- It uses the systems users in the default unix way, but it can be changed to read users off a database (using DBI/DBD). It is prepared to use the database right away and can be extended or configured to use existing systems.
- It can be use to solve the smtp authentication via popauth or relay-domains (with sendmail) so users can be permitted to send smtp mail after pop3 authentication. This has been an effective solution for roaming users.
- Logging can be extended beyond the use of text files to any other method available in Perl, including database systems.
- Also, security is not an issue, as input is strictly controlled.
Using an easily modifiable daemon as part of a e-mail solution can be of great advantage over other existing systems in other languages. Further development will also try to incorporate more easily configurable extensions and plugins, so rapid deployment and extensibility is achieved.
Installation:
For installation instructions and configuration please see the INSTALL file. For more detailed information, consult the DOC file.
