I've got a bit of an odd problem here. I support an application here which is hosted on a Server 2003 Machine. Users go to a webpage to submit a request, and if they have any additional files to include with the request, they click on an email link and attach the documents to the email. The application periodically checks the email account, and when it finds a new email it opens it and saves the attachments to the correct location.
The Problem - it only supports POP3, and not secure POP either. My employer doesn't support POP3, only imap, and while they will consider enabling POP3 on the mail server will not do it under any circumstances if the passwords are being sent cleartext. We can host our own POP3 account on the server, but this is a bit scary unless we are scanning messages for viruses, worms, etc.
The Question - Does anyone know of a service or small program that periodically checks an imap account for new messages, downloads them, and then emulates POP3?
EDIT - looks like Fetchmail could do this, but unfortunately the only ported version available has security issues and is quite old.
