Here's the first "working" script that mounts a remote mail system and then
transfers the mail from there to the local mail system.

It uses a control file with the username and passwords to use in the form

proto domain user password

at the moment the only supported proto is pop

the default location for this file is /usr/$user/mailcollector.boxes

the mail is injected from $user

I've only run this for a day or so but no problems so far.
of course YMMV

usage :

mailcollector [-f mailboxfile] [-k]
-f = use non-default mailbox info file
-k = leave messages on the server


It uses and abuses factotum but as far as I could tell factotum will only
store one un/pw per service per domain which fails you when you have
multiple pop boxs on the same domain.
