Remove fetchmail code and allow multiple accounts to be directly accessible via folder lists.

This issue's discription/summary is unclear to me. What will be the goal/outcome of the improvement. Note that fetching email is for users in specific situations still wished for and needed. A new version of IMP should not cripple old features and option IMHO

Fetchmail is gone, not to return (for various reasons). So that is not going to change. The new code will incorporate additional IMAP/POP servers (other than the "master" account - the account originally authenticated to and hardcoded into the imp configuration files) seamlessly into the IMAP tree. In other words, mailboxes on the other server will behave just like local mailboxes.

Searching for the best web email client every second page pointed to Horde IMP. So I took the time to get it working (the installation process took me a couple of days...). Now having everything set up I notice the for me most important feature: to have multiple IMAP accounts accessable at the same time; represented in the tree on the left, like e.g. Outlook does. I was sooo sure that Horde will offer such a feature, but apparently not (atm). :( Now reading your explaination gives me some hope. May I ask about the progress or even an ata?

I love Horde and honestly the ability to manage multiple imap accounts is the only missing feature for me.

Would nice to have this function in IMP. I donate some dollars to Horde LLC today.

This feature is discussed (in a positive, it just works, sense) a lot online because it has been a feature for a long time with IMP3/4. It was quite hard to to find this page and properly confirm that it is now depreciated in IMP5. I have added a (rather terse, sorry, I was suffering a sense of humour failure) note to the Wiki page about this. From the search results seen before I found this page I imagine that hosting providers (plesk/cpanel based) will have a strong incentive to get this restored since they have been offering IMP as a mail aggregator service to their customers. They may well feel that this issue is a blocker for IMP5 adoption. As per the user below I'd also been hoping to use IMP5 to aggregate some external mailboxes into my main mail system, and might well have stayed with OpenWebmail if I had seen in advance that I would loose this functonality. I have worked around it by running getmail as a service on my server, but it's harder to configure and maintain than if it was a native IMP function.

In case it's of anybodies interest: I switched to PhlyMail which seems to be the only product offering a neat integration of multiple email accounts in one interface: http://phlymail.com/de/phlymail/lite/ (unfortunately without drag&drop and without a mobile client though)

I have added a (rather terse, sorry, I was > suffering a sense of humour failure) note to the Wiki page about this. No, this ticket does not implement the previous functionality. The old code was nothing more than a web interface to a (not very optimized) PHP port of fetchmail. Which wasn't all that useful for anyone with more than a few hundred messages, since PHP would time-out or memory fail long before you could synchronize an account. This ticket is instead a request to add foreign accounts to appear natively in the UI. Which would allow access of these accounts without expensive overhead (and allow the synchronization of mail actions). > From the search results seen before I found this page I imagine that > hosting providers (plesk/cpanel based) will have a strong incentive > to get this restored since they have been offering IMP as a mail > aggregator service to their customers. They may well feel that this > issue is a blocker for IMP5 adoption. I would love to see this request also. But the people that currently pay me to work on IMP do not have this as a priority. Unfortunately, that is the reality of the situation, especially for something as resource intensive as this request.

any progress on this? thank you for info.
