Retreiving email from a folder ?

Okay, I expect most people here know that emailers can collect email
from a database in a proxy server like K9. What I want to know is
whether there is a way to do the opposite ?

Can a proxy server and/or another emailer point itself to a mail
folder rather than a server such as 127.0.0.1 ?

If the answer is "yes" then how is it done and/or is there a program
needed to go inbetween ?

Being able to change 127.0.0.1 to in.mbx would be handy for Bayesian
training. Kind of like creating a "virtual" local server.

Regards, John.

Zoe (http://www.zoe.nu) can import emails from mbox files. Once
imported, you can then pop the email out of Zoe via POP3. Sounds like
that might be what you are looking for.

Sure does. If it works in windows and I can work out how to point it
to a .mbx and/or .eml files then it will certainly be worth checking
out. Many thanks for the recommendation. :-)

Though I am still interested in knowing if any other programs can
do the above too. :-)
Zoe does lots of other cool stuff too. Right now, I am using a
combination of K9, Zoe, and Mozilla mail. K9 marks SPAM for Zoe, Zoe
indexes, keeps, catalogs all my mail, and I pop my mail off my mail
server into Mozilla mail to reply to any. Once I have read/replied to
the email in Mozilla, I just delete it since Zoe has it indexed.

Interesting. Yes, I was going to daisy chain too. This is what I had
in mind : K9 > Eudora > Zoe > Steven (challenge response).

Regards, John.
