Poppet



Description

The poppet is supposed to fetch your post. It is a small win32 program, very similar in design and use to "radiks". The only protocol used is POP3. Messages can be saved to a local mailbox and deleted or kept at the server. The only mailbox formats understood is mbox and "maildir" (it is the same modified maildir as used by mutt under cygwin and win32).

Warning

Poppet is still in an experimental / pre-release / alpha state. There might be serious bugs in the code. Its usage could possibly cause damage to your mailboxes or mails to get lost. Use at your own risk!

Setup

Name the setup file either .poppetrc or poppet.rc and place it either at your home directory (recommended) or together with the executable.

All variables have similar meaning as the corresponding Mutt variables.

$HOME/poppet.rc
   # --------------------------------------------------
   # Poppet.rc
   # --------------------------------------------------
   
   #
   # [set] VARIABLE [=] VALUE
   #
   
   set tmpdir = "C:\TEMP"
   set folder = "~\Mail"
   set mbox_type = "mbox"
   set pop_host = "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
   set pop_port = 110
   set pop_user = "ulferikson"
   set pop_pass = "xxx"
   set pop_last = no
   set pop_delete = yes
   set pop_checkinterval = 90
   set beep_new = yes
   
   #
   # filter-hook PATTERN MAILBOX
   #
   
   filter-hook "^Content-Type:.*text/html"            <delete>
   filter-hook "^Sender:.*owner-mutt-users@mutt\.org" +mutt       % mbox
   filter-hook "^\(To\|Cc\):.*ulferikson@yahoo\.com"  +inbox/     % "maildir"
   filter-hook "."                                    <keep>

Filters are applied to the headers, before the actual message is downloaded. Only the first matching filter will be used. The very last filter in the example is actually implicit (messages without matching patterns are kept on the server) and can therefore be omitted.
