As Alexander has pointed out, fetchmail is fine for that. That is, it |
| 8 |
has a bad reputation with respect to code quality but I haven't checked |
| 9 |
as it hasn't ever given me any trouble. Maybe there are alternatives, |
| 10 |
but loads of people use it. |

Yup, an IMAP server seems to be the tool of choice here. At work I use |
| 18 |
dovecot which works well together with postfix. It's a bit of work to |
| 19 |
set up but it has sufficient documentation for that. I don't know of |
| 20 |
anything easier, in fact I haven't tried much else except for some Cyrus |
| 21 |
thing that came wit SuSE and that I didn't like. |

No idea really...I'd suggest to just install it and have a look into the |
| 26 |
README(s). Many people use it with all kinds of MTAs---I haven't. |
