* Introduction
==============
This package contains a series of useful mail clients, servers, and
libraries. These are the primary mail utilities of the GNU system.
Specifically, this package contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server,
and a Sieve mail filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx' client,
and a collection of other tools.
The central library is capable of reading mail from an `mbox' mailbox,
as well as off of local or remote POP3 and IMAP4 servers.
You're welcome to use this library in your own programs, please see
the examples subdirectory or these other applications. All libraries
are licensed using the GNU LGPL. The documentation is licensed under
the GNU FDL, and everything else is licensed using the GNU GPL. The
complete texts of the corresponding licences are included in the files
COPYING.LESSER, COPYING and doc/texinfo/COPYING.DOC.

GNU Mailutils is a rich and powerful protocol-independent mail
framework. It contains a series of useful mail libraries, clients,
and servers. These are the primary mail utilities for the GNU system.
The central library is capable of handling electronic mail in various
mailbox formats and protocols, both local and remote. Specifically,
this project contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server, and a Sieve mail
filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx' client, and a collection of
other handy tools.
The GNU Mailutils libraries supply an ample set of primitives for
handling electronic mail in programs written in C, C++, Python or
Scheme.
At the core of Mailutils is libmailutils, a library which provides
universal access to various mailboxes and protocols: UNIX mailbox,
Maildir, MH, POP3, IMAP4, Sendmail, SMTP. Mailutils offers functions
for almost any mail-related task, such as parsing of messages, email
addresses and URLs, handling MIME messages, listing mail folders,
mailcap facilities, extensible Sieve filtering, access control lists.
It supports various modern data security and authentication
techniques: TLS encryption, SASL and GSSAPI, to name a few.
The framework is able to work with a wide variety of authorization
databases, ranging from traditional system password database up to
RADIUS, SQL and LDAP.
The utilities provided by Mailutils include imap4d and pop3d mail
servers, mail reporting utility comsatd, general-purpose mail delivery
agent maidag, mail filtering program sieve, and an implementation of
MH message handling system.
All utilities share the same subset of command line options and use
a unified configuration mechanism, which allows to easily configure
the package as a whole.

Specifically, this package contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server,
and a Sieve mail filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx' client,
and a collection of other tools. All utilities can manipulate the
mailboxes of various formats, both local, stored on the hard disk,
and remote, accessed via network protocols, such as POP3 or IMAP4.
The GNU Mailutils libraries supply a rich set of primitives for
handling electronic mail in programs written in C, C++ or Scheme.
