About FreePOPs:
FreePOPs is an easily extensible program, which allows to have an access to the most varied resources through the POP3 protocol. Mainly, it can be used to download mail from the most famous webmails, but it could also be used as an aggregator for RSS feeds and many more. This way it is possible to get all your messages in your favourite email client. FreePOPs is Free Software!
FreePOPs
FreePOPs is a POP3 daemon plus a LUA interpreter and some extra libraries for HTTP and HTML parsing. Its main purpose is translating local POP3 requests to
remote HTTP actions on the supported web-mails, but it is really more flexible. For example there is a plugin to read news from a website as if they were mails in a
mailbox. You can easily extend FreePOPs on the fly, without even restarting it. You can add a plugin or modify an existing one simply changing the script file since the
plugins are written in LUA and are interpreted on the fly.
Usage
FreePOPs can be useful in some situations, here we give the most obvious ones:
You are behind a firewall that closes the 110 port but you need to read your mail and the web-mail of your mail provider sucks.
Your mail provider does not allow you to access your mailbox with POP3 protocol, but only through the web-mail service.
You prefer looking at your mailbox instead of browsing some websites news.
You have to develop a pop3 server in less than a week and you want it to be reasonably fast and not so memory consuming.
You are not a C hacker, but you want to benefit from a fast POP3 server frontend written in C and you want not to loose a month in writing the backend in C.
LUA is a really simple and tiny language, one week is enough to learn it in a way that allows you to use it productively.
Features
FreePOPs is the only software we know with these features:
POP3 server RFC compliant (not full featured but compliant).
Portable (written in C and LUA that is written in C, so everything is written in the most portable language around the world).
Small (in the sense of resources usage) and reasonably fast.
Extremely extensible on the fly using a simple and power ful language.
Pretty documented.
Released under the GNU/GPL license (this means FreePOPs is Free Software).
---------------------
