I agree your post is confusing as to what exactly you're trying to accomplish... If you have an external POP3 mailbox, and you want the messages to be pulled from that mailbox and redistributed to multiple accounts, you can create a mailing list and setup a POP3 link on the mailing list; when new messages are pulled, they'll be distributed to the mailing list. Or optionally you can do the same thing with a standard mailbox, add a POP3 link, and setup your mailproc.tab with redirects and lredirects.
Maybe you could clarify what you're trying to do. -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 12:01 PM Subject: [xmail] Re: Pop3 syncing > Curious question: if you are sharing one POP3 mailbox among multiple > users, how do the users know which messages are theirs? > > Perhaps you need to use the mailproc.tab file for the account that is > fetching, and put the the routing logic in there.
