email centralization
 

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to go about this. Here is my situation. I have multiple email accounts that I use pretty frequently on different pop3 servers. I would like to have it all come to a server that I have in my house, preferably an imap server that I have set up, this way all the emails would reside on the server and no matter where I check it, it would be on the server with the same folder structure. I would also like it to appear as if they were coming from the original accounts for example if my account was blah@email.com that’s where it would appear to come from.

what part of the plan are you after? if you're not after a full mail server setup then you can probably just get by from using fetchmail to download it from wherever. you don't really give much of an idea about the scope you're after though.

I used this one myself.

well, I have the imap server and smtp already setup and working. I am trying to figure out how to get the mail from the server and also how I would send emails after this is all setup. like for instance if I wanted to send 2 emails one from user@domain.com and another from user@domain2.com how I would go about that if I am just using the one imap server.

well yes just set up fetchmail. the mail will still be "to" the remote address. as for automatically replying from the to address... that'd be a client issue AFAIK, not part of the server setup as such.
