I am writing less frequently because I am coding. I’m working on adding the ability to retrieve mail from nearly anywhere. It will retrieve POP3/POP3s, IMAP/IMAPs, and HTTPMail. Retrieval can be set to be automated, regularly retrieving even when not logged into webmail. Retrieved mail will be passed through existing filters.

This means users will be able to set up accounts to regularly check. Such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Juno, WebTV, Netscape, ISP mail accounts, other hosting accounts, and and any other account someone might have. Settings can be made to automatically retrieve it every 30 minutes, every hour, every 6 hours, or once daily. All cotse’s filters will work on the fetched mail, so someone can spam filter it and direct it to a folder or other mail address as with all cotse e-mail.

The end result will be all mail in one place. Then all someone will have to do is check their cotse mail either via webmail or their favorite pop or imap client and they are getting mail from all their accounts. Even pocketPC, Palm, and other portable devices have pop/imap clients. Set it and forget it.

The interface is about 70% and so is the back end. Then I have to tie them together. But it will be a reality to at least make beta sometime soon. Depending upon how much coding time I can get.
