FreePOPs is an extensible mail proxy. Its primary use is to allow checking and downloading of webmails from any conventional POP3 program, avoiding the need to use a Web browser. It can also be used as an aggregator for RSS feeds and more.
FreePOPs FreePOPs is a POP3 daemon with a LUA interpreter and some extra libraries for HTTP and HTML parsing. Its main purpose is translating local POP3 requests to remote HTTP actions on the supported web-mails, but it is more flexible. For example there is a plugin to read news from a website as if they were mails in a mailbox. FreePOPs can be extended on the fly: you can add a plugin or modify an existing one by simply changing the relevant script file. The software is supported by a very active user forum - see below. FreePOPs is a very useful way of dealing with a webmail as though it were a regular POP3 mailbox. Most webmail providers require you to use a web browser to read and collect your mail. This process can be slow and FreePOPs can do this in the background effectively. FreePOPs is very useful when combined with a program such as PopTray or getmail, to allow scheduled checking of both POP3 mailboxes and webmails in the background. FreePOPs is Free Software.
