The Cyrus IMAP server comes with a POP daemon that translates the POP requests into IMAP. That's the exact opposite of what you want; but it still might provide a framework. (I'm assuming that it is extremely unlikely that you could convince them to switch to a standard IMAP server with POP access; even one like Cyrus that keeps all the mail in a private area and forces access via IMAP/POP.) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
