    It seems that if Cloudron would like to grow its user-base and ease the adoption of FOSS, then helping people migrate services they wish and being flexible on those they're not yet ready to bring over is a great way to do it.

    I have my Gmail mail forwarded to my Cloudron based email. IIRC, you can have the original copy be deleted on the Google side if you want too.

    @robi haha if I did, I would be calling out its name from the rooftops. The word "hate" isn't strong enough to describe my feeling for RC.

    @robi I looked at some options before and the really nice ones either compromised on privacy or cost too much for what they offered. Thunderbird was the only choice for me last time I checked but I only use that now for managing my locally saved archived emails.

    @timconsidine said in POP3 / gmail polling support:

    @necrevistonnezr forward and auto-delete on old server?

    This is not an option with all providers, e.g. GMX.net or Web.de

    @necrevistonnezr No doubt but it'll work for the OP's specific use-case.

    Btw, I'm voting yes for this feature simply because it'll open the door for others to migrate over to CR.

    @necrevistonnezr what about using imapfilter ?
    I believe it can work with any mail provider to suck out and delete original host, and put it where you want

    That’s an extra app that needs running. POP3 is still built in into most (all?) providers. It would allow easy migration as you could keep old email addresses as an empty but still reachable shell.

    POP3 support is quite easy to add. It's just some lines in dovecot config and some adjustments to the firewall.

    Anyone know why gmail only supports only POP3 but not IMAP? After all one can fetch mails using IMAP and then delete the mail to get POP3 style functionality no?

    @necrevistonnezr True, but imapfilter ( or another workaround ) is here today for you to achieve what you want. Beats waiting for the feature you're asking for which might be available sometime soon, later .... or never.

    More things than gmail use pop3 - eg the Discourse

    @girish so it improves interoperability, eases adoption hassles, and makes other Cloudron apps more functional ... if it's just a few lines of code, is there a blocker to rollout in the next release?

    @eddowding It's not a few lines of code.. but I am investigating because I want to add this at a per mailbox level and not for the whole server.
