I hoped that something like that exists (and I wonder that I'm the one 
user who would like that feature).

In the moment I have a php-Script that reads out all variables from the 
database and pipes them to fetchmail. But it doesn't work very well and 
it is not possible to automatically place the mails in a specified IMAP 
folder as in imp's fetchmail :-(

Best regards,
