I've now discovered why every man and his dog implements
POP3 proxy servers... :-) I have just commited an
*extremely* rough Gmail POP3 Proxy Server demo
(demos\gmailpopd.py) into CVS (will probably appear in
release 0.0.8) after literally a couple of hours work.
The demo works for me with Mac OS X's Mail.app but does not
currently work with Mozilla as it seems to require the TOP
command which I have not yet implemented.
It has some issues with indicating all messages are unread
in a partially unread thread (this may have ramifications
elsewhere too...). It also causes unread messages to be
marked as read even if they're not downloaded.
Let me know how it works for you if you're willing to be the
second ever person to test it. :-)
As for IMAP, I actually mentioned this possibility in my
first release and have had one other request for it. IMAP is
a much more complicated beast than POP though and, while
I've taken a look at the RFC, I haven't started trying to
implement anything yet.
Hope this is helpful...

HI.
Thanks for this library.
Just wanted to let you know that i tried the pop3 deamon
with mutt and mozilla thunderbird and neither worked.
This is what i get on the terminal from which i launched the
pop script:
POP3Proxy started at Wed Sep 15 11:22:52 2004
Local addr: ('127.0.0.1', 8110)
I issued this command for mutt:
mutt -f pop://rmanocha@localhost:8110
thunderbird was also unable to fetch messages from the
server. I got the same messages when running from it.
Just thought i'd let you know. Maybe you can suggest some
corrections...:).
Thanks

The initial POP3 server is included in release 0.0.8--I have
tested it successfully with Mail.app and Mozilla.
