# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

fetchmail: it to your local (client) machine's delivery system.  You can then
fetchmail: handle the retrieved mail using normal mail user agents such as elm,
fetchmail: pine, or mutt.  The fetchmail utility can be run in a daemon mode to
fetchmail: repeatedly poll one or more systems at a specified interval.
