A simpler solution would be to use fetchmail or any such tools with a Cron job.

Using James might turn out to be an overkill IMHO.

Subject: Using James to "proxy" a work server

Hi,

I'm hoping this list is the right place to ask.

I am looking to "proxy" my Exchange mail to Gmail to be able to use the Mailbox 
app - I am aware that this possibly violates IT policies, so this is a 
technical question, not a why and don't do it one ;)

So, I have a Exchange server that can be accessed remotely on mobile devices 
(assuming via ActiveSynch, it's the Exchange option on the iOS).

I want all mail from this server to end up in my gmail account, but forwarding 
is not enabled server side.

What I wanted to do is to set up a proxy email server that fetches mail using 
the mobile protocol from the Exchange server, then allowing gmail to pull that 
mail with POP3.

Would James be the right "proxy" for this? I have researched this a bit, and it 
looks to me like I would need to be able to fetch mail with POP3 for James to 
support this, which I can't.

Any thoughts or pointers would be very appreciated.

thanks,

Jens
