Ah, I think I know what you mean..

Do you

	1) Want to be able to retrieve messages to the local box, from
		for example your ISP.

	2) Want to be able to use an external host with mail
		account only

	3) Same as 1, but retrieve the messages and store them
		in an arbitrary file

I.e.

1) Have a local mail account, but retrieve from external mailhosts into it
2) Use *only* an external mail account as the source for mail, without
	intermittenly storing it at the local box
3) Make use of a pseudo spool file, located in ~/mbox, ~/misc/work-mail, etc.

The first suggestion is supported, by using fetchmail and a python interface,
but it isn't easily available in the interface (IIRC).

The second is also supported, but the differantion in the interface isn't
very clear, you may have to use <path-to-mail-instance>/base_edit.

The third is partially supported, but interfaces and options that make
it accessible will have to be built.

Am I making any sense?  =)
