Thanks for your reply. Could you please let me know the names of some of these existing tools. I have been searching for two days now and am coming up dry. Pretty much I would like to be able to check the pop3 messages using php then insert them into courier imap. Is this possible ?
You mentioned that I would could potentially write my own code to perform these functions. Could you give me some direction in this regard? What type of code? How would it interface with CourierIMAP. If I am using a php function to remove a message from the imap server would I be able to use a similar php function to remove the message from the pop server ?
