Package: uw-mailutils (8:2007f~dfsg-7 and others)

c-client support programs

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a method of accessing electronic messages kept on a (possibly shared) mail server.

The UW (University of Washington) IMAP toolkit provides the c-client mail-handling library supporting various network transport methods, file system storage formats, and authentication and authorization methods.

This package contains helper tools for the libc-client library:

 - mailutil: utility program which helps manage email mailboxes (both
             local and IMAP/POP3/NNTP);
 - dmail:    MDA (Mail Delivery Agent) for use with procmail;
 - tmail:    MDA for use with the system mailer (such as Sendmail or Postfix).
