Thank you, Nick for the excellent explanation. I'll save it and look over it. At one time I had some threads on this but I can't find them anymore - probably were on the system that crashed <G>.

OK, sorry, I remember now why I gave up using opera!

What you can do is setting up a mail server, (postfix, exim, qmail) as an
imap server on your machine.
You are confused. postfix, exim and qmail are MTA's - they speak smtp.
They do not store mail, they pass it to another smtp server of an LDA
(local delivery agent).

I think that the appropriate advice is:

Have procmail deliver the mail to an imap mail store appropriate for an
imap server of your choice. Options are cyrus, courier, dovecot and
others. Then you can configure both opera and pine (or any other imap
capable email program) to access the mail via your choice of imap
server.

Your delivery path is:

ISP pop server->fetchmail->procmail->imap store

the path to access the mail is

imap store->imap server->opera

                                               ------> pine
