[Zope] Web mail with POP3

[Joachim Werner]

Look at Morten Petersen's ZopeGUM project
(http://www.zope.org/Members/morphex). It has POP3. The interface is still
more or less missing, but Morten is advancing quite well ...

WorldPilot is completely IMAP-centric. The users are authenticated against
the IMAP server, and all mail data is stored there. The frontend code is NOT
really IN Zope, but just published VIA Zope. So integrating POPMail with
WorldPilot is virtually impossible . You might of course reuse the design
and HTML code from WorldPilot ...
