Sorry to have to unsettle you but my PMMail/2 v2.10.1999 does EXACTLY that
and has done since umm v1.53 I think.

It's an Account setting not a Program setting ie each account (you can
have multiples in PMM/2 - another reason use it) can be specified as Fetch
on Open, Send After Fetch AND action on a timer (mine is set to 300 seconds
= 5 mins to prevent my dialup account from throwing me off through
inactivity).  

THEN you can have REXX pre- and post- actions (on prog open and close)
plus ... I could consume a heap of bandwith extolling PMM/2.

I suggest that you check it out again.
