FreePOPs is an extensible mail proxy that allows checking and downloading of e-mail from webmails using any conventional POP3 client program, avoiding the need to use a Web browser.

The application retrieves messages from various accounts (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo!

Mail, Hotmail, AOL) without manual login through an http page.

[1] 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 (from a local e-mail client for example) to remote HTTP actions on the supported webmails, but it can also be used to receive news from a website as if they were e-mail messages in a mailbox.
