dovecot - Nov 2006 - POP3 && Folders

I'm sure this has come up on the list before...

I have a number of accounts normally only accessed via IMAP, and for
this reason, there is a global sieve script for all users (also
required for the spam filtering). What this means though, is that ever
users has 3-4 set folders, that are forced on.

I now have a few users that want to use POP3. Is there a way to make
it download all messages, in all folders, rather than just the inbox?
I'm using Maildir's

Thanks

Tim

You could write a wrapper for the POP3 service, which gathers all the
messages in the folders, and puts them into the INBOX before invoking the
POP3 daemon. A shell script would probably be sufficient.
