 Fetch
 =====
 
-An IMAP library for PHP
\ No newline at end of file
+Fetch is a library for reading email an attachments, primarily using the POP and
+IMAP protocols.
+
+Fetch was part of a large project, Mortar, which is hosted on Google Code. It is
+currently being migrated over to Github, as well as being updated to support
+modern php features. While the project is in flux I encourage you to try it out,
+but be careful about using it in a production environment without proper
+testing.
