Yes, both: a program that provides a service.  I'm not sure how to
differentiate between these two classifications...

Their web page, http://davmail.sourceforge.net/licenses.html, indicates

Linux, Windows, Mac OS.

I do not believe so; at least, I did not have to install anything that I
would consider non-free.

I followed the instructions on the web page and everything worked as
expected.  However, should anything go wrong, the system does look

straightforward.
