Retrieving Emails From Remote Servers With fetchmail on Debian Linux. Fetchmail is a program for retrieving emails from remote servers. Imagine you have five email accounts on five different servers.

It's an endless cycle, common in the digital world: the tools are built for today's data, and today's data increases in complexity and size until the tools are revised and improved. You have to contain data, preferably in the smallest packaging possible, so that sharing it online goes faster for everyone. Here are five ways to optimize images for the Internet.
