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.
Well, we actualy have that scenario, not for all IMAP folders but for
some. 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.
It's a ugly hack but we have it working.
Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to
implement...
With a ugly hack of course :)
With v1.2 it's less ugly with virtual mailboxes.

But it doesn't sound like such a good idea to actually use. That just
allows the POP3 client to easily download+delete all messages from all
mailboxes..
