Email Proxy server for POP -to- IMAP bridge

843834Aug 23 2008 — edited Aug 25 2008
Hi Guys

I have an email client which can fetch mails from an IMAP server, POP is not supported by the client.
[I cant change my email client :-)). so no suggestions on that]
My problem is that i need to fetch Yahoo Mails into my email client And Yahoo supports only POP, no IMAP.

My action of plan is to setup a email proxy server in-between, like YPOPs.
[YPOPs fetches mails from yahoo on POP but doest not expose any IMAP interface].

My email proxy server will fetch mails from Yahoo Mail on POP and will expose an IMAP interface to my email client application.
My email client can connect to this email proxy server and fetch mails on IMAP.

I wanted to ask u guys, abt ur ideas. If any of u faced any similar problem?
And i want to know if Java Mailing API can help in this?

Please guys do share ur views at least. If im able to devise a working solution, definitely i'll share.

Thanks alot
