12 stand \- A simple POP3 client
18 This is a simple POP3 client that will fetch messages from POP3
19 servers and deliver then to a local delivery agent (LDA) such as
20 procmail or maildrop. This client supports APOP and
21 SSL/TLS-wrapped POP3. UIDL caching is implemented to avoid
22 downloading the same message multiple times.
25 \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
26 Display a usage message and exit.
28 \fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keep\fR
29 Don't delete messages on server.
31 \fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-ssl\-verify\fR
32 Don't verify the peer's certificate when using SSL.
34 \fB\-f\fR \fIFILENAME\fR, \fB\-\-configuration\-file\fR=\fIFILENAME\fR
35 Specify the configuration file to use. (default: ~/.stand.yaml)
37 \fB\-r\fR \fISECONDS\fR, \fB\-\-reconnect\-after\fR=\fISECONDS\fR
38 Reconnect to the server if SECONDS seconds has elapsed since
39 the last connection. This is useful if you are using a slow or
40 unreliable connection and downloading many messages, since the
41 remote mailspool will be updated on each reconnection.
45 This is the configuration file for stand, which contains details
46 of the POP3 accounts to be checked, and the LDA (Local Delivery
47 Agent) to be used for each. This file is in YAML format and
48 consists of a sequence of mappings. The details for each
49 account must be separated by a line with a single '-', and the
50 settings for each account must be consistently indented with one
51 or more spaces. An example is given below:
54 # The 'Host', 'User' and 'Pass' lines are required. The
55 # 'SSL' option defaults to "no", the 'APOP' option defaults
56 # to "no" and 'Command' defaults to "procmail -f-". 'Port'
57 # defaults to 110 (or 995 when SSL is turned on).
59 Host: secure.mythic-beasts.com
67 Pass: not-my-password-either
73 This file is an SQLite database which stores UIDLs of messages
74 that have been downloaded from POP3 servers by stand, but which
75 have not yet been deleted.
