[imp] Problem with Fetchmail

[commedo]

I've figure out the problem. I log in to IMP by selecting POP3 as mail
server (because my mail server is a POP3 server) and of course user and
password. I get my Inbox page after logging in. I set an external (POP3)
account to fetch in Fetchmail account. I tried to fetch the mail and always
get 0 new message although there are some new messages in the external mail
server (I test it using telnet to its port 110). I'm curious and tried to
debug the IMP code and finally found that IMP is succeed to retrieve mails
from POP3 server BUT unable to save the message into my mail server using
imap_append() and got error message "the method is unsupported in POP3
server". I concluded that imap_append() is working for IMAP server only. And
later I re-login to IMP by selecting IMAP server (after I installed
COURIER-IMAP server) and got the Inbox page as like as I login by selecting
POP3. And trying to fetchmail again. It's work now.
Finally I conclude that the fetchmail is working if only if the
installed/local mail server is an IMAP server because the retrieved mail is
saved to local mailbox after retrieval using function that is compatible for
IMAP only.
I'm just worder why using this method? Are there no other ways to save
retrieved mail into local mailbox?

Thx.

And what error message do you get?
