I think that is possible. I am sure the code I wrote, in nasty VB6 would
listen for an SMTP connection and then forward it VIM and then to the
internet. I will go and have a look.

Hi,
Yes, I did find documents on VIM, but there is also the API to the PO to
consider.
In the Lotus cc:Mail developer kit, do you think there is enough stuff to
put
together a "reverse client" -- an app that
gets mail from a modern email
provider using POP/IMAP/whatever it is?
