I use getmail [1] to obtain what you wrote above. Sample pop3 configuration for getmail just in case you are interested: [options] verbose = 1 delete = true [retriever] type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever server = mail.something.com username = france...@something.com port = 995 password = somepassword [destination] type = Maildir path = ~/somfolder/somebox Don't forget that ~/somfolder/somebox should of course conform to Maildir standard (i.e. contain new/ cur/ new/ tmp/ subfolders).
