You could always have sieve put these images into a special folder and
then using the perl IMAP modules watch that folder for new content. Out
of cron runs a perl script that:

1) connects to imap server
2) gets new messages in the folder "mobile_picts"
3) gets the message content and sends it via ftp to your web site
4) marks the new messages as \Seen
5) disconnects
