[imp] Using IMP with multiple Pop accts into ONE mailbox

[Martin Fraser]

I'm not sure if this is quite the answer you are after but how I do that 
is to run a local IMAP server and I have Fetchmail collecting mail from 
multiple domains and delivering to my users.

Then, IMP, or another IMAP client like Thunderbird, can access the 
collective mailbox and get all mail for that user, irrespective of what 
domain it was sent to.

There may be an IMP way to do it, as mentioned in your message, but I 
feel that separating out these sorts of tasks makes things easier. IMP 
is a mail client which acts on an IMAP server, other things, like 
Fetchmail and Thunderbird, can also act independently on the same IMAP 
server.

Good luck with it.
