pullimap

Pull mails from an IMAP mailbox and deliver them via SMTP or LMTP

Description

PullIMAP retrieves messages from an IMAP mailbox and deliver them to an SMTP or LMTP transmission channel. Compared to alternatives such as fetchmail or getmail, PullIMAP trades flexibility and IMAPd compatibility for performance.

A statefile is used to keep track of the mailbox's UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT values. While PullIMAP is running, the statefile is also used to keep track of UIDs being delivered, which avoids duplicate deliveries in case the process is interrupted.

PullIMAP supports the COMPRESS=DEFLATE extension from [RFC4978]. It is enabled by default on servers advertising it in order to reduce network traffic, especially for long-lived connections (when IDLE commands are enabled.)

An optional retention period can be set to automatically remove old messages from the IMAP server.
