External POP retrieval

Post by Black20VT »

Hi,

By no means, an urgent request, but more a nice to have at this stage, but would it be possible to implement a system to retrieve POP email from an old/other accounts to consolidate them into one hosted mailbox account?

Just asking.

Thanks for looking, 8)

Chris.

We'll roll this in with feature ticket #42 "Mail box migration tool". It's currently number 5 in the waiting queue.

This seems to now be covered by 'Additional Mail Sources' which is working great, but a couple of requests.

1. Once an additional mail source is added, there's no way to edit the entry, just to delete and start again. No great issue, but if you're not sure on the password (which I wasn't in 1 case), I had to delete the account and re-create it each time.

2. Would be great if different polling intervals could be set for each additional mail source. So an busy account could be set to check more frequently than one that's rarely used.

But, still a great feature and nice to keep everything in one place!

Thanks.

1) Editing is a possibility; we just did it this way because it was faster to get it deployed rather than spend the extra time on more validation code. When we revisit it we'll add some basic modification functions.

2) Unfortunately this is impossible with our design; all of the pollers run under a single daemon process grouped at the rollernet account level in order to preserve resources for accounts with large numbers of pollers.

Thanks for responding so quickly.

1. Sounds good. Isn't a major issue, more a nice to have

2. As above, no problem, was a nice to have anyway

Thanks again for the great work, keep it up!
