What is the GNU equivalent to fetchmail? Let's say one is a purist and wants to use the free software instead of the open software. -- http://www.geocities.com/jidanni/ Tel+886-4-25854780

Why do you need one? Most of fetchmail, with a few practical noted
exceptions, is released under the GNU GPL, so what has GNU to gain from
