I hav run faces and upas/fs against imap before though not for some years,
I'm pretty sure it just worked. faces needs to run in the namespace
of upas/fs so it can access the mailbox (I start upasfs before rio in my
profile.
these days I collect email from the work imap (MS exchange) server and feed it
into
the plan9 email system so it gets appended to my mbox in a traditional manner.
I run this script from my profile
#!/bin/rc
rfork en
upas/fs -f /imaps/wmail.mywork.com/stevesimon
cd /mail/fs/mbox
while(){
for (f in `{ls | grep '^[0-9]+' | sort -n}){
upas/send -r inject!$user < $f/raw
rm $f
}
sleep 60
}
and I added this line to my /mail/lib/rewrite
# deliver injected mail locally
inject!(.*) >> /mail/box/\1/mbox
as I said, faces and imap should just work and you get to keep your
email on your imap server. I did the above because I wanted to store
my email locally and have it backed up by venti :-)
Also I start faces with -s to show all email rather than just new stuff.
