Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

But as a matter of practice, why the mismatch? Better to have users on IMAP from desktop and notebook. Unless this is a mandate "from above" or a legacy issue, move everyone to IMAP! -- Sahil Tandon <sahil at tandon.net>

We have services that put receipts and unanswered calls and voice mails on IMAP folders (there's acls and a master password allowing them to do that) and we had to enable POP access to that for POP only users.
