I Agree - the driver should say if it should run on demand.  I wasn't  
sure if this was something you were interested in, so I just made it  
work for me.

The 'fetchmailprefs.html' is never loaded, because the prefs file is  
based on the driver name.  $driver.'prefs.html'.    So you're saying  
the template should just be $driver . html ?  I don't really see the  
difference between that and reading in the driver names in the  
Fetchmail.php file.
  function &factory($driver, $params = array())
     {
         $driver = basename($driver);
         require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/Fetchmail/' . $driver . '.php';
??

IMHO, 'imap' is a bad driver name.   It really should be 'fetchmail',  
or retrieve, or something else.  The protocols IMAP and POP both fall  
under this driver, so there's no need for a separate prefs file for  
each protocol.  Naming the driver one of the protocols is just  
confusing.
