[imp] Writing to user's .forward file from IMP

[Jeff Graves]

You might want to just take a look at the IMAP RFC...it should tell you how
it handles messages and what information is required to read and store
messages. A better approach might be to somehow use IMP for authentication
through IMAP (is this possible?) and then maybe a perl script to edit those
files.

Ah, okay. This list probably won't be able to tell you much about your
local setup, though.
