What exactly is the POP -> IMAP conversion service ? 
I had popper installed for pop before I installed the imap server,
so I haven't used the ipop* features. 

( Ok, I suppose I should Find and Read the FM, but I figured as long
as  your on the subject already ... )

In both ipop2d and ipop3d, you can do a POP login with a user name of the form
host:user which will connect you to that host's IMAP server.

That is, if I connect to POP server foo and log in as bar:mrc with my password
on bar, I will be reading my IMAP mailbox on bar using POP.
