no mbox format

no mbox format

[Heimo Claasen]

Is there a Linux mailer - or just even an MTA - which keeps downloaded
mail from POP3 boxes in their original, unchanged format (i.e., no change
to the header, maintained end-of-item mark) ?

It's less important if mails are stored as one file each per item or
as a stream (or "folder" a la Nut$crape Mail in Win$); as long as the exact
form(at) from the download is kept. The salient thing is that the
contents is not corrupted by rewriting into the mbox format.

Well, I think there is something called fetchmail (not sure) that dows
this. If I'm wrong, what you could do is downloading them to your
computer and store them with sendmail (I think fetchmail does that)

Anyway, the good mail clients won't corrupt the information... unless
you are working with something really strange... like downloading
hardware (yes, that WOULD be strange)... I'm not quiet sure what you
want to do... pretty much all mail clients can handle mbox...

As I've checked now my Sylpheed Claws 0.9.3 stores POP3 mail untouched.
Each message is stored in different file. I could not find any end-of-item marks or additional headres, so this is probably the thing you are looking for.
