[courier-users] imap - pop3 coexistence.

[Tom Stockton]

Hi

I am looking to implement a webmail system (squirrelmail) which is an
imap client, however I have an issue in that the users mail spools are
currently only accessed by pop3 clients (outlook / eudora etc).

The main point I'm trying to figure out is, if a user creates folders
from the webmail, can the pop3 server be configured to retrieve messages
from all folders ?  OR Can the imap client / server create folders in a
way that is transparent to the pop3 client.

Does anybody have any theories as to the best way to live with both
protocols.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

 Your users must decide to either use webmail only, pop3 only, or to use
 pop3 and see only the newly arrived mails via webmail. If they create
 folders via webmail nad move messages into these folders, they will stay
 there forever.

Yeah thats what I was thinking too, we currently have a webmail system
that reads / writes to the mail spool directly over nfs, folders are
virtually defined by the naming convention of each message, however all
messages remain in the INBOX.  I was hoping IMAP might have some crazy
setting that allowed a similar kind of folder creation ?  Please tell me
if I am talking absolute tosh.
