Well I don't really want to fetch email, I want to be able to get my backups back.
But getting the email is a start. Here are some pages that describe how:
Just some notes about what works and what is simple.
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-sendemail-from-the-command-line-using-a-gma...
You can install sendEmail via Synaptic in Ubuntu but you will need to also install
You can, of course, just tell Synaptic to do that. You can also do it all from the command line:
$ sudo apt-get install sendemail libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl perl
sendEmail can use tls authentication but presumably this does not mean that the actual traffic is secure. Of course email is normally transmitted in the clear anyway so this might not be a problem; however, if you are using this to backup confidential files to your gmail account you should try to use secure sockets to secure the connection against eavesdroppers. And, especially in the light of recent reports of a Google employee snooping on email, you should encrypt the files themselves.
So the question: can sendEmail use SSL?
Add a buffer process so that the oscilloscope gets a whole frame at once. the buffer process triggers on positive zero crossings.

What is the easiest way to vreate a simple GUI in Python under Linux (Ubuntu >=10.04)?
Some sites:
I hate the Winows/CUA binding for the Home and End keys. To make them go to the start and end of the document instead of the line add this to .emacs:
(global-set-key [kp-home] 'beginning-of-buffer) ; [Home]
(global-set-key [home] 'beginning-of-buffer) ; [Home]
(global-set-key [kp-end] 'end-of-buffer) ; [End]
(global-set-key [end] 'end-of-buffer) ; [End]
