Description

Implementing the Post Office Protocol within Nutch would open up a new use case which is crawling and indexing of some mail servers.

This is particularly useful for investigation purposes or for porting/mapping mail from one server to another.

We may be able to kil two bird with the one stone by implementing both IMAP and POP3 protocols under the one plugin.
