IMAP Support?

[marlam]

A fundamental decision is whether IMAP support is wanted mainly for retrieving messages or whether full IMAP support is wanted, with partial fetch, handling of multiple mailboxes inside one IMAP account, server-side searches etc.
The latter case may only make sense for a full mail user agent. The first use case would fit nicely into the current mpop design, but on the other hand, that use case is already covered by POP3.

For me, it's all about receiving mail, because once it's on my mail server, I can run them through my own mail pipe.

The first use case would fit nicely into the current mpop design, but on the other hand, that use case is already covered by POP3.

That's what I thought until I recently got a new mail account on a server with neither POP3 nor any kind of email forwarding enabled. I'd highly appreciate IMAP mail receive support for mpop, as it seems to be the only reasonable solution for receiving mail from uncooperative servers at the moment.
