I just wanted to add that what I want to achieve with this is a method to import the unix mail into somefolder in Mail.app (together with) a rule action which moves new messages on a regular basis  as The easy solution for getting access to the unix mail. -Any suggestions about working solutions for achieving this for Snow Leopard are very welcome.
But I don't want a whole mail-server setup to worry about.

There must be a way?


Best regards
