Bug#367835: ITP: fetch-exc -- Fetches email from Microsoft Exchange servers



retitle 367835 ITP: fetchexc -- Fetches email from Microsoft Exchange
servers
stop

I think I'll call the package 'fetchexc' instead of 'fetch-exc'. Some
reasons include fitting in with other similar packages (fetchmail,
fetchyahoo, retchmail) and matching the binary name, which I intend to
also call 'fetchexc'. This is probably also closer to the upstream
project's name, because it just lowercases it.

It'd make tab-completion a pain if other fetch* commands/packages didn't
have a hyphen and this one did.

I'll look into it, particularly if there are any other WebDAV-based mail
storage systems that this package works with.
