</p>
<p>This book addresses a wide audience of both system administrators
and users that aim to use Mailutils programs, and programmers who wish
to use Mailutils libraries in their programs.  Given this audience,
the book is divided in three major parts.
</p>
<p>The first part provides a detailed description of each Mailutils
utility, and advices on how to use them in various situations.  This
part is intended for users and system administrators who are using
Mailutils programs.  If you are not interested in programming using
Mailutils, this is the only part you need to read.
</p>
<p>Subsequent parts address programmers.
</p>
<p>The second part is a tutorial which provides an introduction to
programming techniques for writing mail applications using GNU
Mailutils.
</p>
<p>Finally, the third part contains a complete Mailutils library
reference. 
</p>
<p>This version of the book is not finished.  The places that may
contain inaccurate information carry prominent notices stating so.
For updated versions of the documentation, visit
<a href="http://mailutils.org/manual">http://mailutils.org/manual</a>.  All material that ends up in this
document is first published in the Mailutils Wiki, available at
<a href="http://mailutils.org/wiki">http://mailutils.org/wiki</a>.  Be sure to visit it for latest
updates.

<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<div align="center"><strong>Editor&rsquo;s note:</strong>
</div><p>Mailutils 3.0 introduced such amount of changes, most of which
being a complete rewrite of the existing codebase, that the library
tutorial and reference became hopelessly obsolete.  It is my deep
conviction that using incorrect documentation is much worse than
having no documentation at all, therefore I have withdrawn the
obsolete parts from this edition of GNU Mailutils manual.  I am doing
my best to document new Mailutils libraries and hope to be able to
re-introduce these parts of the documentation soon.
