[linux-help] Re: Dialup Pop retrieval for Network IMAP server

[Steven Saner <ssaner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I can't say that I've done exactly this, but here are some (all)
of the pieces that you need.

        pppd            To estaplish a PPP connection with your ISP
        fetchmail       To retreive the mail from your ISP POP server
        sendmail        To deliver mail to your account on your machine
        imapd           IMAP server to run on your machine
        cron            To initiate actions on a schedule
        perl or bash    To glue things together, not much needed.

I recommend that you explore each of the above in approximately that
order. The Linux Documentation Project and man pages are your friends.
