It doesn't do exactly what I want, although it's a really useful
tool.  I'm looking for something that will basically take the entire
mail box (sub folders, etc.) and copy it all down locally.  Kind of
like sync'ing a mail client (which is the best current alternative),
except without the mail client.  If there's nothing like this now,
I'll probably write something.  I just find it hard to believe that no
one has written something like this yet, and don't want to duplicate
work.

Thanks!
