Re^4: IMAP to POP3 Proxy

Well, I had the same thought before thinking of the proxing thing!.

The university is using the most featureless copy of horde mail that has no forwarding option.

and I have no SSH access to create/delete files.

Outlook is byond our conversation (I don't really like it, been using thunderbird instead, but anyway I don't want to save emails on my local computer as I might need to access those emails later on that's why I used Gmail).

Anyway Thanks for your help, I'll look at the modules specified earlier and try to do something about it.

BTW talking to sysadmins is usually useless *Most sys-admins thinks they're GODS (No idea why!!).

I mentioned Outlook because Outlook is more than a simple SMTP/POP3/IMAP client when connected to an Exchange server: It can change server settings, so you can configure a forward rule on the server. Most other combinations of mail servers and mail clients do not have this feature, at least not natively. Regarding god-like sys-admins: Comes with the territory. ;-) I'll never forget the day I told and proved my wannabe-gods that anyone inside the university could read and write any home directory of any student, any assistant, and any professor, including the mail directories. It really scared the hell out of them, and they never managed to completely fix the problem.

Most mail clients allow you to leave messages on your server if you're using POP3 (well Outlook and Thunderbird do at least).	[reply]
