Wow,

That sounds like a great idea...hmmm...yet another weekend project methinks 
;-)

I'm currently running postfix as my smtp server and gnu pop3d as my pop 
server.  I'll have to look into whether or not gnu pop supports imap.  I 
don't think it does as I recall, so would you recommend any particular imap 
daemon?  I'm looking for the "quick" and dirty fix for this ;P

Again, thanks for the suggestion and I'll post my results after the weekend.

Chris
