Not quite sure what you are asking here. Cyrus provides both an imapd daemon and a pop3 daemon that can access the same mailboxes. So users can use either pop3 or imap to check their email. (NOTE: The messages in their INBOX will be deleted if the POP3 users do not mark "Leave messages on Server") If what you want is to migrate email from an existing POP3 server then using a program like "fetchmail" to retrieve email from the POP3 server and then can inject those emails into the IMAP inbox. Both Courier IMAP and Cyrus IMAP can offer simultaneous IMAP/POP3 access to mail boxes. There are others I'm sure. Hope that helps, -- Michael --

The basic problem is that you cannot implement the IMAP protocol using the functionality provided by a POP server. Conceivably, you could have a proxy that did what you wanted and provided a very restricted subset of IMAP commands, but you would likely find clients would not work with it. You should just bite the bullet and convert them at once, offline. -- John A. Tamplin Unix System Administrator Emory University, School of Public Health +1 404/727-9931
