Write retrieved emails on a log file (Ubuntu/Debian)

Write retrieved emails in a file

As root, install fetchmail

$ apt-get install fetchmail

Check if fetchmail has SSL support: if you see something like "libssl.so.0" then yours has it

You could skip passphrase.

From host1, create .ssh directory on remote host via ssh

Make Factories not Classes

For the KISS principle, you can opt for the factory function pattern (aka closures) instead of use classes.

// Typings definition (stripped out at complie time):
type MyObject = {
  readonly aPublicMethod: () => void;
  readonly anotherPublicMethod: (anArgument: any) => any;
};

type MyObjectFactory = (aDependencyInstance: any, anotherDependencyInstance: any) => MyObject;
