An imap server stores the messages that have been recieved. An MTA (Mail Transport Agent) goes about sending mail from one place to another. If there were an IMAP server in zope, you could "recieve" the mail as an object in zope, but it would still be delivered to zope by an MTA.
Which raises the question: What MTA would you use for a Zope IMAP server and does it matter? Again, forgive me if that's a stupid question ;-)
Unless you want to extend what you can do with an email. I would really like to be able to take emails that people send to zope.org and propogate them to different sections of the site, for example.
Yup, this sounds like mail-in content to me, which is what I'm after :-)
Based off of what you're saying, I think it would be more appropriate to try to go for an imap server in zope. Note that this is non-trivial too :).
Well, how do we get started? (I may not be the best person as you can see from my lack of knowledge in this area ;-) cheers, Chris
