Sorry, I should have said this. Diald won't work for two main reasons.
First, my ISP passes mail to me when I'm online (not via POP3 - I can
use POP3, but it's not suitable for a number of complex reasons...). So
I have to go online anyway to grab mail. Second, I want to work in a
batch-online mode, where I get everything in one big slug (which I can
run, for example, while I have my tea :-) and then scan it all offline.
Hope this explains better,
Paul.
