Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Dump eMail image to directory Post 302525305 by DGPickett on Thursday 26th of May 2011 10:20:46 AM

Work in stages. First, set up the .forward to collect mail as files. Then, see what they have in them for your mail clients. It reads pretty well.

If you cannot get the .forward to work, you can cron every n minutes a script that calls mail to fetch each message while there are messages.

If you need a quick base 64 decoder, I have a C version. Of course, it is probably hiding somewhere in UNIX/LINUX/GNU!
