Re: [Zope] zope, worldpilot, IMAP, POP...
Wow, looks good. Looks like you could make some extensions to zope's membership add/delete, which would rewrite getmailrc to update the user accounts, and also create/delete subdirectories for the mail.

Do you 1) Want to be able to retrieve messages to the local box, from for example your ISP. 2) Want to be able to use an external host with mail account only 3) Same as 1, but retrieve the messages and store them in an arbitrary file I.e. 1) Have a local mail account, but retrieve from external mailhosts into it 2) Use *only* an external mail account as the source for mail, without intermittenly storing it at the local box 3) Make use of a pseudo spool file, located in ~/mbox, ~/misc/work-mail, etc. The first suggestion is supported, by using fetchmail and a python interface, but it isn't easily available in the interface (IIRC). The second is also supported, but the differantion in the interface isn't very clear, you may have to use /base_edit. The third is partially supported, but interfaces and options that make it accessible will have to be built.
