Humm... since I've already revealed that I'm running the UoW POP
server, it may not come as a shock, that I'm also running the UoW IMAP
server...
Fetching mail with POP, but "biffing" it with
IMAP... kinda... *special*, innit...? :-)
But I wouldn't want to start from scratch. I wonder if some of John
Prevost's code can be used for this?

Maybe the underlying driver stuff? Might as well actually fetch the
mail with IMAP also, then.
