Hi!! Hi!!!

Windows 95 is almost here and is there any plan that someone will port 
the PC-PINE to Win32 api???  or is it possible to write a gateway to 
MAPI so Win95's exchange client can retrieve IMAP mail directly into 
private exchange folder???? (Well, it's certainly Great for Bill)

and does it hard to write a IMAP daemon for Window NT???

>and does it hard to write a IMAP daemon for Window NT???  

I would greatly appreciate anyone who can solve this problem for me.
I am using Windows NT for everything (but mail) and like it very much.
But, I have not been able to find any IMAP Daemons that will run on NT.
Thus, if I want to use Pine, which I like very much, we have to install
a Unix box just for this purpose. Microsoft does not yet support 
Internet mail on NT (???). But, you can get a DOS Daemon (the name 
escapes me) that requires a dedicated box to run. I don't want this 
either. I just want to use PC Pine to access an IMAP Daemon running on
our NT Gateway box... If anyone has found a solution to this problem
please clue me in...

Thanks,

IMAP Daemons serve out mail files on the server, what mail files are you
think about? Microsoft Mail? cc:Mail? none of these PC mail files are in
such a format that 3rd parties are welcome to manipulate (Lotus has been 
know to change their format when someone found out what the file looks 
like). Or are you thinking of using some kind of UNIX mail format on NT?
That can probably be done, but I don't believe anyone has such a product.
