My main ISP has just separated its mail server from the server on which
I have a (Unix) shell account. As a result, I am looking for a way to
copy my mail from the mail server to a file on the local host. I am
considering creating a Kermit script to talk POP3 protocol with the mail
server for this purpose.
Before I do this, I wonder if anyone has a Kermit script which either
does this or which could be used as a base to save me some work.
Also, is anyone aware of an existing application that can do this, not
necessarily a Kermit script.
Currently, I can use pine to access the remote mail and save it locally,
but this is cumbersome and not really satisfactory as I have to save the
messages one at a time, and pine alters the headers.
