Re: [Ilohamail-devel] Folders for POP3?

[Dave R. <da...@ro...>]

You're correct.  This would be essentially re-inventing the wheel for
POP3.  But why you ask?  Because some ISPs don't support IMAP.  POP3 is
a widely accepted protocol (yes, as is IMAP), so widely that most
hosting companies only advertise POP accounts.  I haven't seen a
hosting company advertise IMAP (I'm sure they're out there, I just
haven't seen them).

So essentially, I'd like to homebrew folder support for POP3, because
thats the protocol I use for most all of my mail.
