# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

fetchmail: fetchmail (mail retrieval and forwarding utility)
fetchmail:
fetchmail: fetchmail is a mail retrieval and forwarding utility. It fetches
fetchmail: mail from a POP, IMAP, or ETRN-capable remote mailserver and forwards
fetchmail: it to your local (client) machine's delivery system. You can then
fetchmail: handle the retrieved mail using normal mail user agents such as elm,
fetchmail: pine, or mutt. The fetchmail utility can be run in a daemon mode to
fetchmail: repeatedly poll one or more systems at a specified interval.
