GOTMAIL(1) General Commands Manual GOTMAIL(1)
NAME
gotmail - A script to fetch mail from a Hotmail mailbox.
SYNOPSIS
gotmail [-u username] [-p password] [--help] [--version] ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the gotmail script.
Gotmail is a perl script to fetch mail out of a Hotmail account and either place it into the current directory in unix mbox format or for-
ward it to another email address.
OPTIONS
-?, --help, --usage
Show summary of options.
-u, --username username
Specify your hotmail account username.
-p, --password password
Specify your hotmail account password. (Warning: using this on the command line is insecure. It is suggested that you use a configu-
ration file--see below)
-d, --domain domain
Specify an acceptable hotmail domain: hotmail.com (default), hotmail.com (default), msn.com, charter.com, compaq.net, hotmail.co.jp,
hotmail.co.uk, hotmail.de, hotmail.fr, hotmail.it, messengeruser.com, passport.com, webtv.net
--version
Print the version number.
--debug
Print and log debug spew.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
--silent
Be as quiet as possible.
-c, --config-file file
Specifies a different configuration file than the default (~/.gotmailrc). See below.
--proxy host:port
Specify an HTTP proxy to use. Format is host:port - eg: localhost:3128
-f, --forward address
Specify an email address to forward to. If a forwarding address is not given, messages will be saved to disk.
-s, --smtpserver server
Send email via the specified smtp server, rather than with sendmail. This allows use of Gotmail under Windows 2000, at least. May
work elsewhere.
--exclude-folders folders
Do not get these folders (list of folders in quotes, i.e.: "Inbox, Bulk Mail")
--folders folderlist
The --folders option only downloads messages from folders that are in the list given. eg. gotmail --folders "bulk mail, inbox" will
get the bulk mail and inbox folders only. The list separator should now be a comma, optionally with whitespace on either side.
--folder-dir /my/dir
Specify which directory to put email folders in. The folders will be saved as mbox-compatible files named after the folders on Hot-
mail.
--only-new
Only previously unread messages will be retrieved.
--mark-read
Mark messages as read once they have been downloaded.
--delete
Delete messages once they have been downloaded. This option is being deprecated as of version 0.8.2. Use the --move <folder> com-
mand to move downloaded mails to the Trash Can instead.
--move <folder>
Move mails to the named folder after downloading.
--speed-limit
Add a small delay after each message to stop the local MTA from being overloaded.
--retry-limit num_tries
Maximum number of times to retry a download.
--save-to-login
When this option is specified, saves messages to "username-foldername" in the folder-dir directory. The Inbox folder is saved to
just "username".
--use-procmail
This option sends all messages only to procmail(1). Options to forward or save to mailboxes are ignored.
--procmail-bin /path/to/procmail
Allows user to set location of the procmail binary. Default is "/usr/bin/procmail".
--procmail-option <opt>
Pass options through to procmail
--curl-bin /path/to/curl
Allows user to set location of the curl binary. Default is to search the path.
--use-sa
Use SpamAssassin to detect junk mail.
--delete-spam
Delete junk mail instead of just ignoring it (requires --use-sa option).
--move-spam folder
Move spam to this folder (requires --use-sa option).
--spam-score score
SpamAssassin score to be considered spam. Default is 4.5.
--nodownload
Don't actually download or forward mail. Useful when used with the --delete-spam option.
--summary
Print the number of messages received one line per folder.
--remove-header
Automatically remove X-Message-Info header to not trigger X_MESSAGE_INFO rule in SpamAssassin.
EXAMPLES
Download all the mail from the account of "billyjoe@hotmail.com" with password "sEcReT" and forward it to "john@ab.com".
gotmail -u billyjoe -p sEcReT -f john@ab.com
(This is insecure!)
Download, and delete, new mail only in the Inbox and MyMail folders of uro_levu's Hotmail account. Save the resulting mail in mbox files
named after the folders ("Inbox" and "MyMail") under the warmmail/ directory.
gotmail -u uro_levu -p my_password --delete --only-new
--folder-dir $HOME/warmmail --folders "Inbox, MyMail"
(This is insecure!)
Scan the mail in the Inbox and move anything with a SpamAssassin score of 5 or better to a folder named Spam, but don't actually download
anything.
gotmail --folders "Inbox" -u billyjoe -p sEcReT --use-sa
--nodownload --move-spam Spam --spam-score 5
(This is insecure!)
Configuration
You can put the configuration for gotmail in a file. This has the significant advantage of not putting your username and password on the
command line, where it is possible for others on your machine to read them. By default, gotmail will look for a file in your home directory
called ".gotmailrc". You can specify a different one with the --config-file option. Options on the command line will override options in
the configuration file.
Configuration files may contain comments (Lines beginning with #). Options in the file are identical to the long arguments listed above,
and are assigned values using an = sign. Do not add extra whitespace before or after the =.
This very simple configuration file gets all the mail from the account of randomuser@hotmail.com, password "ger0nim34":
# randomuser's gotmailrc file
username=randomuser
password=ger0nim34
This slightly more complex example causes gotmail to quietly download and delete all mail in the account of linux@hotmail.com, and forward
it to linux@yahoo.com.
# .gotmailrc
username=linux
password=FreesOftwareForever
forward=linux@yahoo.com
silent
delete
