hi alex,

1. Yes, but it is an all or nothing deal. Any existing accounts won't be able to login as the user/pass check is now checking against a pop server, not your current user list.
so if I'm currently using a single catch-all account with my users, and then install this plugin, you're saying that my catchall won't work any more? The decision to install needs to be made when you're first setting up the system? I can see it would probably work ok if you were using the single pop account per user setup from the beginning.

3. Yes, the logins are temporary, each time you login it checks it against the pop server (so you don't need to keep the pop server/gossamer mail accounts in sync).
So the user would have a "space" created for them on my server, where it would hold their message, folder and filter information etc, but no actual "mail" account on my server. My GM install would basically turn into a collection point for any user with a pop account somewhere else (or an actual pop account on my server).

4. I'm not sure what you mean here?
When you pop a mailbox you can usually set if you want to delete the mail off the server or leave it there. I wasn't sure how they'd set this if they didn't have a GM account, but they sort of do so that answers this question anyhow I think - it would just be one of the settings.
