So, I have a question for all you awesome Horde developers...do any of
you have the time to work on updating the old fetchmail feature to
work with the latest horde/imp, and do you have any sort of estimate
as to the cost?
The old fetchmail functionality is not coming back. It simply doesn't
work coherently/properly in a PHP environment with limited process times
(and is non-threaded).
The replacement MUST be the ability to access multiple accounts within a
single session. But this is not a trivial change, and thus far nobody
has ponied up the funding needed to accomplish this (this would probably
require week(s) of work, as opposed to hours).

Michael, thanks for the info.
I should have stated my query differently. We need the capability to
access multiple accounts. It just happens that is what fetchmail did,
so I used it as a shorthand description of the Use Case..
FWIW, I have used fetchmail for about 6 years, once or twice a day, and
never had any trouble with it (even used it last night on our production
system to fetch over 300 emails from gmail). But I am a sample size of
1 and I honestly do not know who else in our user base uses it.
So, weeks of work. I wonder if anyone else on the list needs the
ability to access email in multiple accounts through the web interface?
Perhaps several companies could get together and pledge enough?
Is there anyone else on this list that would be willing to help fund
development of a "fetchmail capability" ? (ie, same end result as the
old fetchmail, only done differently)
