: ====[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]=============== Sub : Killing a Process (#3) LOST #150
To kill a process by name, use the killall command. To kill a failed fetchmail session on tty1 as an user, log into another console, and issue the command "killall fetchmail". Be careful with this command as root, since all instances of the program used by *all* users will be killed !!!

The correct way to kill fetchmail is fetchmail -quit
- cnb

Unbalanced tag. You never opened <rant>.
Why do you think fecthmail sucks? It does a neat job. What alternative do you suggest anyway?

Actually, what I'd like from fetchmail, is a way to limit the max size of mails downloaded based on the total size of the mailbox.
ie, if my mailbox is 60K, then I don't mind downloading files of size 60K. If my mailbox is 120K, then I don't mind downloading files of size 20K, if my mailbox is 200K, then I don't mind downloading mails of size 10K.
The funda - if I have a small mailbox, then I'll download all mails, but if I have a large mailbox, I'll download small mails now, and leave big mails for when I have a cheaper connection.

Basically, you want to be able to set filters in fetchmail (and NOT procmail). More precisely, you want to apply filters *before* downloading a message (on the headers, maybe (TOP 0)). That's what even I've been looking for. But I can't complain because I *am* a programmer and I *have* the source code. Don't have the time though.

Easier with IMAP.
UUCP seems to do a pretty good job. Can shedule big mails for later. Also can pick up from where it left off, good thing for locations with sucky lines.
Downside : Service providers don't provide it. But if ur fortunate enough to have ur own servers...

I just need something for vsnl/yahoo/my other pop3/imap accounts.
BTW, has anyone tried HTTPMail? It's the API that outlook express uses to connect to Hotmail. Someone has also written a POP3 to HTTPMail gateway so you can use a pop3 client to fetch hotmail. Maybe we should look into using this in fetchmail.
HTTPMail is written in perl.

There's also gotmail. Don't think it has a pop3 front-end though. [http://www.hawkins.emu.id.au/gotmail/]
BTW the last time I tried httpmail and gotmail, both were broken because msn hotmail site structure had changed (or something like that).

gotmail downloads hotmail pages using http and tries to parse the html, so everytime hotmail changes the page design, gotmail will stop working.
HTTPMail uses WebDAV - the same thing that outlook Express uses. It will always work. I had trouble using it too, but apparently many people were able to use it at the same time, so it was some other problem.

While you're at it, configure your client to not attach your vcard when sending to a mailing list. If you send it once, that's enough for everyone to get it.
