I am trying to read my emails from a terminal using fetchmail, procmail and mutt. I can fetch my emails almost in real time using fetchmail daemon to fetch every 5 seconds over IMAP or POP. This solution works on both Mac and Linux, but I would like to know if there is a better way to do this.
I used Thunderbird and Apple Mail before, and they both fetch emails almost in real time. Are they both using fetchmail constantly? Is there a way to avoid pinging my email server every 5 seconds? Maybe a socket-based solution or something like that?
