I am running Fetchmail to grab mail from two accounts; one is an IMAP account and one a POP3 account. Once I get it from fetchmail, it gets sent to procmail, which then does what it does and forwards the messages to the appropriate user mailbox.
Has that just destroyed the IMAP-ness of the mail fetched from the IMAP account?
no. POP3 and IMAP are services.. that's all. If you are using fetchmail, you are using it as POP3, not IMAP.
How can I make my MUA (KMAIL) see that this is IMAP mail and synchronize with the server?
You have to set up Kmail for 2 specific services, even if it is the same mail account, one being POP3, and the other being IMAP(S).
Sorry if this is vague, and thanks in advance
yes, you did not specify what IMAP server you are using, if in fact you are using a server.. . Do you have these services running on your machine, or do you go outside, e.g. another commerical account like myrealbox.com ? IMAP and POP3 can be used for the same mail account, you just have to set up your MUA for both type services... an IMAP service will add some individual files, e.g. uidvalidity, subscribed, and cache files, but that will just be there. POP3 will not read these files, and just download your email.. -- Gary Chaos, panic, pandemonium - my work here is done
