fetchmail supports standard all mail-retrieval protocols in use on the
Internet: POP2, POP3 (including POP3 with RFC1938 one-time passwords),
-RPOP, APOP, KPOP, Compuserve's POP3 with RPA, Demon Internet's SDPS,
-all flavors of IMAP (including IMAP4rev1 with RFC1731 Kerberos v4 or
-GSSAPI authentication), and ESMTP ETRN.

The fetchmail code was developed under Linux, but has also been
