this conduit is mostly like pilot-mail from the pilot-link package. it
does nothing fancy like pop.

it should be able to read an MH dir and move the mails from it into the 
pilot (procmail can write MH). i'm not totally familiar with it though.

otoh i was suposed to write a balsa conduit, so that gnome-pilot could
access balsa folders and use it to send mail but RealLife(tm) and balsa
issues stoped short. i'll try to get back to it asap (ie. as soon as i 
finish diablo2 hehehehehe)
