# claws-mail-fetchinfo-plugin(7)

inserts headers with download information

## NAME

claws-mail-fetchinfo-plugin - inserts headers with download information

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **claws-mail-fetchinfo-plugin** package.

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**claws-mail-fetchinfo-plugin** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws Mail* mailer.

This plugin enables adding several extra headers to the received mails containing additional download information. These headers can be used later in filtering or processing rules, extending mail identification and/or classification capabilities.

Currently the following headers can be added:

- X-FETCH-ACCOUNT

  Receiving account name from *Claws Mail* configuration (As appears in the accountrc file).

- X-FETCH-SERVER

  POP3 server used for downloading.

- X-FETCH-TIME

  Timestamp of download, RFC-822 formatted.

- X-FETCH-UIDL

  UIDL specifying the message on the server.

- X-FETCH-USERID

  Username in the receiving account.

## USAGE

Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup.

For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...”  dialog, click on the “Load plugin...”  button and select the plugin file, named **fetchinfo\_plugin.so**, and press the “Open” button.
