How did you achieve this ?
As far as I was aware, the Fetchmail contrib for SME simply injects these emails into the users standard inbox where they became jumble up with other emails in the inbox. Are you using something different or have I missed something ?
As a comment, I moved to IMAP about a year ago. Only whish I had done it many years ago. I have found that Outlook prior to 2007 does not handle IMAP super cleanly.
I don't know how I did it! I installed/configured Fetchmail ages ago, but it didn't seem to work (what I mean is that I didn't get any of the external mails coming through to my mail client inbox).
Earlier this week I opened the horde webmail client, which I've done many times before. Normally I only use the webmail client if I'm away from the office, to check mail in my inbox. This time I clicked on the drop-down menu because I was looking for a particular mail which hadn't come in, and I suspected it had maybe gone into junkmail. It was then I noticed a folder with the name of my external mail account with nearly 15000 mails in!
I had hoped that the fetchmail contrib would collect the mail and inject it into my normal inbox as I wanted to use the anti-spam functionality of SME to filter the mail - I was getting upwards of 100 spam messages a day and there was no spam filtering on my external mail account.
Sorry I can't give more detail!
