Didn't notice that about fetchmail... but procmail seems to be a *nix thing not available on M$. Anyway, the code that will be written for this project is specific: It take= s POP3 and writes it to a file. I like small, targeted tools that work together. If I could make *nix work, I'd love it. As long as POP3 exists and people want to archive emails, this little project should be of use. I've paid the $250 and expect to have code to test in 5 days. Now the question is when will I actually get the time to test it... between taxes, server crashes at the day job (Do NOT try to run ESET NOD32 for Exchange on a SBS 2008 server), and the kids going back to school (homeschool, more work, not less when the start). Sorry... felt the need to grump.
