POP3 and Attachments

[Brad Vedders]

I remember reading on the list a while back that attachments don't work
through POP3 and there was really nothing that could be fixed.  I was
wondering if there was anything that can be done about it or is it still
recommended to just use IMAP?

Thanks,

c-client doesn't get the part structure back from a POP server. So there isn't 
much we can do, since it won't let us fetch individual parts. IMAP is much 
better for lots of reasons, anyway.

I don't think that's a good general solution, and storing messages directly to 
mailboxes is kind of ugly. I think a general notification system that can send 
emails, fax, etc., is a great idea, though.

I talked to Max at one point about having a Horde Task Scheduler - something 
that could store all Horde repeating tasks, and be invoked by cron or windows 
scheduled tasks - whatever the OS scheduler is - and run all Horde jobs 
(alarms, reminder emails, etc.) that should be triggered. So that you wouldn't 
need to be logged in to get meeting reminders, etc.

But even a api method to send an email instead of storing it shouldn't take too 
much time. At least if you "got to bed" with the imp code. ;-)

Sounds good!

That doesn't need to be tied to IMP - see problem.php also...
