IMail doesn't have a "pickup folder" -- that's a proprietary feature of the
SMTP service in W2K server (and won't work with any other mailserver, at
least not in the same way). The problem is that there isn't any one file
that is used for this purpose.
Every E-mail is split into two logical segments: The actual E-mail itself
("SMTP content", which includes both the headers and the message body), and
the "SMTP envelope", which consists of the originator's address and the
addresses of the recipient. Normally, the SMTP envelope is sent through
standard SMTP transactions, and stored locally in a proprietary
format. The E-mail itself contains some of the SMTP envelope information,
but not all of it. Therefore, you can't simply create a single
RFC-compliant file that can be sent out via E-mail.
