Perhaps I could run a second pop3 daemon customized to pull from a specific folder? Would this be a big change?

RE: [courier-users] Need to POP for only SOME of the IMAP mail? Any ideas?
Yeah - but that wouldn't be simple either - because the authentication DB has to return the correct values for IMAP access. I figured that in the API for maildir message access there would probably be a function that retrieved messages or opened a folder which would probably take Maildir Folder as parameters. Assuming that pop3d might use such an API call, then it would simply be a matter of replacing 'INBOX' with 'INBOX/subfolder' or something to that effect. Thought that if any developers or hackers hung out here they might have a few pointers on the subject (Sam where art thou?).

RE: [courier-users] Need to POP for only SOME of the IMAP mail?Any ideas?
Hacking the pop server prooved effective for me... not that I'm endorsing it or claiming it's problem free yet. Pretty simple though if you look at the code. Which I should have waded through before asking I guess **insert sheepish grin here** I now have a second pop3d, running on an alternate port, that uses a specific subfolder as it's source. If I got REALLY adventurous I might try removing this folder from the visible list of IMAP folders, but I'll save that for another day. thanks. m/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kurt Bigler Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [courier-users] Need to POP for only SOME of the IMAP mail?Any ideas? on 3/6/03 11:41 AM, Brian Candler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 09:04:10AM -0800, Mitch (WebCob) wrote: Perhaps I could run a second pop3 daemon customized to pull from a specific folder?
