[Mimedefang] Fwd: syncing sent item from pop3 account to webmail sent folder

[Indunil Jayasooriya]

Hi,

Is there a way to sync sent item from pop3 account to webmail sent folder ?

(pop3 account NOT IMAP account )

Can mimedefang do it? or is there any 3 rd party software that can sync
pop3 sent folder to Webmail Sent Folder?

what about procmail ?

Hope to hear from you.

A POP3 Server does not know about folders and does not know any status
of an email. So it does not know what a 'sent' item ist. There is just
an INBOX containing email messages, if you want to call it that way.

All other thinks, like flagging an email read or sent, or getting
the emails from a POP3 server and storing it localy in a folder on your
computer is handled by the email client localy on your computer.

Or course IMAP does know about folders and can flag emails as being
read or replied to etc.
With IMAP your email client manages the emails stored on the IMAP
Server. So all your various clients have the same 'view' of the emails
on the Server.

If you want to copy the content of the POP3 INBOX on Server A to a IMAP
Folder on Server B, you could probably easily write such a script with
perl.

MIMEDefang ist a Milter (Mail Filter) intended to be used by an MTA
like sendmail or postfix. It does not know about POP3 or IMAP Protocols.

sendmail, postfix and probably other MTA can hand over a received email
to procmail who then, for example, files it into a specific folder on
your local mailserver. But procmail also won't fetch mails from a POP3
server.

'fetchmail' could download emails from a POP3 or IMAP Server. But
afak 'fetchmail' cannot upload emails to an IMAP folder.

So you don't want to use IMAP for a reason, but do use POP3 from several
machines/POP3-clients (with "keep mail on server for x days")?

The old school way to keep some kind of sync of sent messages between
several POP3-clients would be to just put your own mailadress in BCC...

For POP3, Sent Items would be stored only locally on the machine that
sent the email.

You likely need an automated bcc and a procmail rule to sort the copy of
your sent item into your sent folder.

But if you are using POP3, there is only an inbox. So I think you are
out of luck.
