15 GNU Mailutils is a collection of mail-related utilities. At the
16 core of mailutils is libmailutils, a library which provides access
17 to various forms of mailbox files (including remote mailboxes via
18 popular protocols). It also provides support for parsing of RFC-2822
19 style messages and MIME support. The utilities, provided by
20 mailutils include: pop3d, imap4d, comsatd, mail, frm, messages,
21 readmsg, guimb, sieve, mail.local, mail.remote, movemail,
