I don't really need a lot. I just need to pick up all mail in the inbox of a given u...@domain I login with, deposit each in a given directory, and delete them from the server. The only options I think I need are: what u...@domain to login as, whether to use clear, STARTTLS, or a basic TLS/SSL protocol, and what port number (143 or 993). I don't have any interest in other folders. I just want to see if mail was delivered and do so from a separate machine than the mail server itself (or see if IMAP is even up).
