m2m

m2m - Move from POP3 to Maildir

• v1.15.2
• License: GPLv3+
• Just pull mails from POP3 servers (TLS can be disabled) and put them in local Maildirs.
• Proxies and Onion entry servers are supported.
• Multiple accounts supported, which are accessed concurrently.
• RFC6856 compliant (UTF8 before anything) so works with Courier as well.
• It can keep mails on the server, but does not remember/store which mails have been seen.
• Expanded from github.com/unkaktus/mm

Install

• go install github.com/pepa65/m2m@latest
• The directory ~/.m2m.conf contains all the account config files which are checked concurrently. The file name is taken as the account name, must not start with a .. (See the Example file in the repo).
• The (YAML) config files have the POP3 server config details and the Maildir location with parameters:
  • active: true/false - Account is active [default] or not
  • username: POP3 username [mandatory]
  • password: POP3 password [mandatory]
  • tlsdomain: Server domainname (as in its certificate) [mandatory]
  • port: Port [default: 995]
  • entryserver: Initial IP/Domainname for the server [default: not used]
  • proxyport: Proxy server (server:port) [default: empty, not used]
  • tls: true/false - Use TLS [default] or not
  • keep: true/false - Keep mails on the POP3 server, or delete them [default]
  • maildir: Path to the Maildir directory [default: ~/Maildir]
  • Default options are taken when the parameter is not specified.
  • Comments are lines starting with '#'.

Run

• Usage: m2m [ -h|--help | -q|--quiet ]
• Flag -h/--help outputs just a help text.
• Flag -q/--quiet outputs only fatal errors to stderr.
• Normally, a minimal report is sent to stdout (nothing on no mails), and any additional verbose output is logged to stderr. Route output as desired!
• Each account gets locked by creating a file .ACCOUNT_locked in directory ~/.m2m.conf when it gets checked online.
