The reasons the instructions are *nix specific is because Windows system is really not well suited for such tasks. While it is possible to make it work, it is not exactly pleasant.

Windows does not have an easy automated mechanism for running a certain application every X amount of minutes/seconds/hours. So, your first task is to find a windows tool that will allow you to do just that.

Windows also does not handle e-mail in the same way *nix system do, so you cannot use procmail or similar. You need a separate script that can talk to POP3 or IMAP server and retrieve the message from those servers. The popfud.php script supposedly talks with POP3, but I didn't not write and can't say anything about it's usability.

Once something had retrieved the entire message (headers & message text) this data needs to be piped to the maillist.php who will then use this data to import a message into the forum.
