Post Office is a plugin for Movable Type that allows users to post to 
their blog via email. It works by connecting Movable Type to an 
existing email account, like GMail or any POP or IMAP compliant mailbox, 
and periodically scanning for messages to post. Each user can be given 
a unique email address to which to post to uniquely identify them and 
the blog they want to post to when sending an email.
