in reply to POP3/IMAP Server modules?

Actually, I just made Net::Server::POP3::Skeleton over the last few weeks. I haven't quite finished documenting it, but it should be what you need. Obviously, it's Net::Server based, and you have to implement most of the commands yourself, but all the commands are trivial to implement.

(Update: In case you're planning on running this on Win32, I just want to let you know that Net::Server does work on Win32. The forking personality (the one this code uses by default) requires perl 5.8 because there was a bug in the fork emulation in 5.6 that caused perl to crash, and I had a problem with the tests hanging (due to a call to POSIX::setsid which doesn't work on Win32) but it works fine if you just skip the tests. Just wanted you to be aware so you don't think you can't use it on Win32. I'm using it on Win32, so I know it works. :p)

I wrote an implementation using Mail::Webmail::Yahoo so that I could access my Yahoo email via my POP3 client. If you want to see an implementation of the various commands, let me know and I'll post my Yahoo mail module, too.

HTH

Update: Updated the code and it's POD a little bit.

Update: As per request via /msg, I'm including my implementation of a server. It basically creates a proxy-type POP3 server that accesses and manipulates the messages directly via Yahoo's website.

Note that this code uses a modified version of Mail::Webmail::Yahoo, as the normal copy didn't work correctly out of the box and didn't include a way to move / delete messages. So the code almost definately won't run using the vanilla Mail::Webmail::Yahoo. Eventually, I hope to factor my changes out of the Mail::Webmail::Yahoo module and into my code, though I'm not sure how feasable that is...
