That's right.

Yes, it was too crufty to survive, though. There was a guy who ported it to 
IOslaves, which is exactly what is needed (like the IMAP slave, hey, that 
would be pretty straightforward don't you think?) but he vanished without 
ever showing any code just after writing 'i have wonderful source for this 
problem but the margin is too small to contain it'.

No; yes: the popmail (what a misnomer) conduit can be extended. KMail could 
provide a DCOP interface for retrieving messages from a folder (I talked with 
Till about this at LinuxTag, I think). The conduit could use IOslaves 
directly.
