Free pop3 settings software for linux

jSettings package is meant to provide a Java library for dealing with program settings. (I use "settings" as just another synonym for preferences, properties, etc but I chose the word settings because of the already existing Preferences and Properties frameworks in Java). It wants to be a powerful tool for the developers of Java programs that want to manipulate structures of settings.
The code (as well as this page) is at an early development and testing stage. On top of that, I am only doing it as a means to teach myself Java (Im an economist by training and by profession) , so even at later stages you can expect the quality of the code to be quite low.
If you feel like any part of the design, code, Javadoc, examples etc is silly please dont hesitate to let me know about it. Also, I would also be happy to include requested features as long as I can understand the need for them and I also know how to do it. So please write to me if you have anything to say about this project!
Main features:
- Handles INI and FSTAB type of files and settings. There is no XML support yet, but I plan to do it if it seems to be requested.
- INI settings are specified by a setting = value pair.
- FSTAB settings are defined by an array of settings, each in a predefined field. I call them like this because the structure is similar to the fstab file in UNIX environments. Logical structure is quite similar to that of XML files.
- Settings can be logically structured into sections.
- There are two degrees of hierarchy available, called hierarchical and non-hierarchical. For example, in a hierarchical organization, the settings in a file called settings.ini, containing the following lines:
[section1]
setting1=value1
[[section1-2]] //Notice the double brackets
setting1-2=value1-2
would be refered to as
settings:section1:setting1
and
settings:section1:section1-2:setting1-2
In a non-hierarchical structure they would be
settings:section1:setting1
and
settings:section1-2:setting1-2 (section1-2 is not a child of section1 anymore).
- Loads settings from external files, either from individual files in ASCII format or from archives containing several settings files.
- Includes support for default values for settings, both for ini and fstab settings.
- The advantage is that the actual ini and fstab files will only contain the deviations from the defaults.
- Includes support for system-wide and user-specific settings, for multi-user environments.
- A program would first load the defaults, then the system-wide settings and then the user-specific ones. Also when modifying the settings, there is a choice between doing it at user and at system level.
- Support for adding/modifying/deleting settings.
- Default support for validating the settings.
- Each ini-type setting and each fstab-type field have a validation rule in the form of a regular expression. When loading the value for that setting/field, it is being checked against the rule and only accepted if it confirms to the rule. Of course, if the user wants it she can have .* as the rule for each setting.
- Support for flushing the changes made to the settings to the external files.
- Extensive logging/debug messages.

Magic Settings Wizard is designed to quickly and easily restore or backup your favorite applications settings.
Magic Settings Wizard can backup/restore through an FTP location used as a storage medium.
Main features:
- backup or restore applications settings : select which ones from a list.
- personal home dir is automatically detected by default, but another directory can be specified.
- communicates with a FTP server specified by the user.
- FTP settings may be saved in a config file.
- a FTP directory may be created from the interface if needed.
- add your own applications settings definitions if yours dont exist in the database (edit settings_definitions.py).

popa3d project is a tiny POP3 daemon.
It is designed with security as the primary goal. You can read more about its design, check out the change log, or download a popa3d tarball (the latest stable version is recommended) and refer to the documentation inside.
Enhancements:
- A couple of optimizations specific to x86-64 have been applied to the included MD5 routines.

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.

popdns is a small daemon that aims at simplifying the use of DHCP-configured machines by allowing them to dynamically update their DNS entry using (nearly) any POP3-capable e-mail tool.

After having configured a new e-mail source (with the POP3 protocol), users are authenticated using their system password and popdns automatically updates the specified (or implied) DNS entry with the IP address of the connecting machine.

popdns makes all DNS modifications with plugins. The plugins are external programs (scripts or compiled programs) simply launched with the following arguments:

plugin ipaddress name [ name ... ]

wmMultiPop3 is a WindowMaker dockapp, written by me, Daniel Sundberg, which checks one or more pop3-accounts for new mail.

Its based on wmPop3, written by Scott Helden. Ive added support for multiple pop3 accounts (a few while-loops and some changes in the config-file parsing routines).

WMpop is a Window Maker DockApp for monitoring a local (mbox format) or POP3 mailbox. WMpop project displays:
- number of mails in the mailbox (or unread mails if checked in the preference screen),
- a scrolling text with the email address of the senders (only for local mailbox for the moment),
- and a status led, indicating mail checking progression and errors.
WMpop can be configured via a graphic interface written in GTK+. The configuration interface let you define parameters of your POP3 server, and let you personalize the app (changing icons or sound and choosing an external command to launch on demand).
It is internationalized, with French translation. You can also run several instances of the program of different mailboxes (remote or local).

KPopAssistant is a multi-pop POP3 mail checker with extended features for KDE similar to KShowMail. The project is written in pyKDE (KDE bindings for Python).
Main features:
- POP3 protocol support
- multipop : lets you watch and manage multiple pop3 accounts at once
- list e-mail details information : date, sender, subject, has attachement, size, state(read/unread), index
- delete mail
- preview mail message (simple view or full source view)
- KDE integration
- systray icon
- beep sound and gui notifications for new incoming e-mails
- launch Kmail and Kmail composer window from systray or main app (or any other app if specified)
- reply to e-mails with Kmail composer window
- sqlite DB for storing mail information (using pysqlite)
