Time to make my own advertisment :-) I hate fetchmail because it is based on popclient, which was a good program to lose mail (it never tested the return code of write() before deleting the message on the POP server) so I wrote gwpop which:
- is not really maintained anymore so you will not be disturbed by new versions,
- is written in Perl,
- is still in Perl 4 and not beautiful one,
- does not exist as a Debian package,
- allows you to use SSH (fetchmail cannot),
- otherwise, has a lot less features than fetchmail.
