install uw-imapd, create accounts on box 001 for each user, and set up /etc/fetchmailrc to stick mail for each remote user into each local user's mailbox (removing teh need for fetchmail to separate users' mail out - though it can still put it in pretty imap folders :)) that should be all there is to it.. I have a similar set up on my personal mail server to grab mail out of my work email (pop account). I use imap so that I can read mail from both/any accounts from anywhere (imap client, squirrelmail/web, etc..). Cheers! -Justin
