mail proxing

Dear all,

I have a linux gw/router in my house and server for everything
It also has the connections to the Internet on it (ISDN and WiFi)

I want to:

1/ Have the linux box overnight connect to the internet and fetch all the
Yahoo mail I have (via POP3?)
2/ Have the linux box also overnight connect to the Internet and fetch all
the MSexchange2000 mail I have (the exchange server is also accessible via
IMAP)

both accounts have them stored locally and then use outlook express from the
internal network for reading all those e-mails. (so the linux will not
connect to the net for this)

How can I do it?

Thank you for your time,
Theophanis

Use 'fetchmail' from cron, pulling all mail from the internet and
handing them over to your MTA, you can use a single user for this
purpose. Just put in the proper ~/.fetchmailrc for this user.

One can run fetchmail in daemon mode, but it sounds as if running
from cron should be fine for you.

man -k fetchmail
fetchmail (1) - fetch mail from a POP, IMAP, ETRN, or ODMR-capable server

Comes with almost any distro and might be even installed per
default.

I'd strongly suggest dropping M$ Outlook, there are various
good/free (Eudora/etc) MUA for M$ if you are limited to that on
your desktop.

One of the etc's being Mozilla Thunderbird. Yummy.

Well I know all of the MUAs and OExpress just came out of mind :)

Anyway
From what I see, fetchmail is used as an intermediate between a local MTA
and your mail account.

Well it does not do what I need.
On the exchange/IMAP account I have, I have more then 200 subcatalogs.
Fetchmail canot replicate this structure before starting downloading.
This is what I need. An overnight IMAP/Exchange mail account replicator.

Thank you all for your time.
