    I have a homeserver, running postfix and fetchmail, to get mail from multiple other accounts every 5-15 min depending on account.

    Is it possible tot fetch these accounts extra when using pop/imap to the mailbox on my homeserver?

    Can you describe the problem in other words? I don't quite understand... :confused:

    situation now:
    every 10 min localserver pops provider.mailbox1, provider.mailbox2 -> local.mailbox1

    user1 pops from client local.mailbox1


    is it possible to fetch provider.mailbox1, provider.mailbox2 when user1 pops local.mailbox1

    so @ the time user1 pops his local mailbox other mailboxer are popped too @ that time even when the 10 min fetchmail timeout is not passed?

    Not sure. But even if it is possible, I don't think the user will get the new mails immediately. I think he has to log in again to fetch new mails because the mails have to processed, so it takes a few moments until the mails are available in his mail box.
