I am using Apple's Mobile Me and am looking for a program that I can leave running on a Unix server somewhere that will monitor the IMAP INBOX and automatically copy all incoming messages to another mailbox (call it Archive).
I've tried implementing this myself in python with imaplib2 and the IDLE command and have found that my connection keeps getting disconnected.
Is there any off-the-shelf open source software that I can use to do this?
1+1 I've frequently considered doing this (or something similar). Would be interested to know what your use-case is. I had a slow inet connection, so wanted an IMAP server on my (personal) LAN that basically mirrored gmail's IMAP. – Andy – 2010-06-12T11:04:42.183
My use case is that I want a copy of all my incoming mail to go to Archive so that I can delete from the INBOX with abandon, without having to manually archive. I find old email using Mail.app's built-in search, which really rocks. – vy32 – 2010-06-18T19:48:05.307
Can Mobile Me forward a copy of all incoming mail to another address? – Craig – 2010-06-19T00:07:03.353
Not sure, but I want l the mail to stay on same service. – vy32 – 2010-06-21T10:26:30.697
