Package: pullimap (0.5.6-1ubuntu1)

Pull mails from an IMAP mailbox and deliver them via SMTP or LMTP

PullIMAP retrieves messages from an IMAP mailbox and deliver them to an SMTP or LMTP transmission channel. It can also remove old messages after a configurable retention period.

A statefile is used to keep track of the mailbox's UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT values. While PullIMAP is running, the statefile is also used to keep track of UIDs being delivered, which avoids duplicate deliveries if the process is interrupted.

PullIMAP supports the COMPRESS=DEFLATE extension from [RFC4978]. It is enabled by default on servers advertising it, in order to reduce network traffic, especially for long-lived connections (when IDLE commands are enabled.)
