The Project
Sometimes an Internet Service Provider offers you only webmail
service to read your e-mails, but you may want to read them by your
favorite email reader.
This is a bash script to download e-mails from servers that don't
provide POP/IMAP service, but only webmail. It connects to webmail
interface as a normal web browser and saves your e-mails in a
mailbox (or maildir) on your computer.
Features
This script uses:- Bash interpreter
- Curl client
- Perl language
- It runs only under GNU/Linux or other Unix
- It supports only mailbox format
- It was tested only against libero and inwind (two big italian providers)
- By default, for security reasons, the script doesn't delete mails on server. To enable this option, edit the script and set DEL=1 (now it's DEL=0)
- Before using this script, you must set the option of view all messages in only one page on webmail interface. So you'll be able to fetch all e-mails from server.
TODO List
- MailDir Format support
- Support for more providers
