You can use fetchmail on an linux box to get the messages from pop3 accounts and forward them to your smtp-server. Unfortunately I haven't found until now a win32 port of fetchmail.
There is a commercial win32-app (PopCon) that you can found on http://www.christensen-software.com/popcon.htm I don't know an easy way to integrate this "pop3-retrieve-option" in your Webmail, so you must configure manualy any new external pop3-mailbox for your clients. Remember also that pop3-retrieving is a polling technique. So your app has to check regulary all mailboxes for new messages. If you set the intervall to high there is a noticable delay until the mail gets delivered to the final mailbox. On the other side if the intervall is very short and there are enough mailboxes that you should retrieve, it can be a resource intensive task for your server and your bandwith. markus > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of venky > Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 8:41 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [IMail Forum] mail retrieval from other servers > > > Hi all, > > Is there any possibility of retrieving mails from other > servers to Imail server. > > Some of our users need this option.
