that is acceptable.

I seriously doubt any machine you put together today would be anywhere

the user is saying that they didn't appear.
It's part of how Maildir is designed.
Since Dovecot can quite happily deal with other agents (user or delivery)
meddling with the files and moving them about, it will also happily deal with
new messages arriving magically.

his should be fairly straightforward (with all the NFS

Yes, you will still need to deliver mail to the mailbox(s) your IMAP server is

you will need a tool like fetchmail to do that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most IMAP clients issue an IDLE command when
not doing anything, which expires in at most 30 minutes?
Couldn't you hook into the IDLE command to check for a MOTD?
, but with its strong,
clear APIs Dovecot would be an excellent starting point. With fully exposed
internals, you could achieve all sorts of interesting extensions and the like.
