There are two things I want to add: 1) A greater flexibility in specifying how mail is to be fetched. For instance, you may have several POP maildrops with different user names and passwords, as well and local mail spools, MAPI servers, Qmail spools and other animals. We need a way to specify this. 2) Instead of the current model, where (basically) nnmail pushes *all* the mail out the the first mail backend that happens to come alive, we should have a way of saying "this mail goes to that backend, and that mail to this backend". Or rather, the mail backends should be able to specify which mail they want to have incorporated into themselves.
