[mew-int 00565] POP/SMTP Process life

[Dhruva Krishnamurthy]

Hi,
 I am trying to use Mew and do stuff like check multiple POP
 accounts. I am facing this problem though.
 I start mew with a default POP server. It retrieves the messages
 in the POP server. When I change the POP user name and type "mew"
 again, it complains about another process running. The first process
 has for sure completed retrieving the messages. I feel the process
 should die after that and the new process should start. The
 completion of mail retrieval is known internally to MEW as it updates
 the Modeline. I feel there should be a hook function to call user
 defined methods after completely retrieving the POP mails. I could
 then add a method to kill the process if it is still alive. The need
 arises because I want to have a CRON job like setup to get mails from
 my various accounts (thank God it is just 2!).
 Also, is there a way of accessing mails thru a PROXY server needing
 AUTH from MEW?
 I would request any responses to this mail to be CC'ed to me as I am
 not subscribed to this list. Thanks in advance.

with regards,
dhruva

PS: I am using Mew 2.1 on Emacs 21.1
