The imap adapter makes mail available to zope. It becomes a sort of data source. It can also be used as a authentication source. It doesn't to my knowledge allow actions based on new mail arriving.

Hi Jay,

I'm not an expert but I think IMAP is the way to do what you want. The Portal Toolkit will have functions or at least hooks available for this. I was talking to the DC guys about very thing just a week or so ago.

Zope acts as a publishing medium between documents that can be rendered on the server side and clients. So far there is http, ftp, webdav etc as protocols for this interaction. How about mail? I send a mail. It gets mapped to a zope object somehow. This object gets rendered and sent back. Zope could support smtp or it could use pop polling. Using it as a list server it would probably inefficient but for processing email forms etc it would be very cool.
