Summary ⇒ Fetch Mail feature should not appear for POP3-authenticated users
Queue ⇒ IMP
in servers.php, the Fetch Mail and Other Mail Accounts features are
available.
However, these features do not work for POP3, because the POP3 version
only shows what is available on the POP3 server, awaiting collection
by another POP3 client.
If used, this is what the feature does:
- IMP accesses the mail server correctly (POP3), and issues RETR
statements for all the waiting mail. However, it always shows
"Fetchmail: Fetched 0 messages from [whatever the account name is]
- The mail does not show in the inbox, as the inbox is only displaying
a single POP3 account's email.
Jan has confirmed this is a bug during a discussion on the IMP mailing list.
