My router is a PC put together from some old parts running Linux, it has an 
ISDN card and does IP-NAT for my LAN, thus I'm used to call it router. :)

Besides this, it meanwhile also does a handful of other tasks, among 
them handling my mail and news.
This also was a great enhancement to Microdot, as it allowed me to 
circumvent a couple of Microdots limitations (I'm getting on topic
again ;)), like lack of support for multiple POP accounts for one user,
having to use different SMTP servers with different ISP's (though
thats not necessarily a problem that has to be addressed by each mailer
itself), Microdot fetching all news articles in case of some article
being canceled.

My router automatically fetches my mail from various POP and IMAP
accounts using fetchmail while its online.
While I used Microdot it stuffed those simply into one big inbox that
it served to Microdot via POP3. With the new setup, it sorts them to
various folders with maildrop as described before.

Ok, let me see if I got that right, you have Windows XP on your notebook
and run Netscape there (which itself fetches your new mails directly from
some POP3 account on the internet), your router sits in the basement, I
assume its not some hardware router, but PC based like mine?
If so, as you said it won't understand my "script", I further assume it
runs Windows too?

If it does, you are limited to what tools you'll find for Windows - the
first part of the script could be done with Amiga tools too, but as you
mentioned that you don't have access to your Amiga anymore, that doesn't
help you either. :/

I mail you some pointers to UNIX utils for Windows privately that, with
a bit of work, should enable you to get your mail imported to Netscape
using Windows.
