What i can never understand is why people with just there own mail accounts at there ISP's seem to have this need to setup things like fetchmail ect ...
All you need is Kmail or if you dont like that then Mozilla mail works very well as well i cant say the same for thunderbird thou .
I am not trying to be bad assed or anything it just never ceases to amaze me the trouble people get themselfs into trying to do something very simple like download and read theer mail and send replies ect ..
I'm on a bunch of high-volume lists, and my ISP does have an upper limit for mailboxes kept on his servers. I want my mail to be held on a computer owned by me. I want to be able to access it from any computer in the house. Eventually, I want to be able to access it from other locations, without any risk of downloading it to somebody else's computer and accidentally erasing the originals from my ISP before they are safely brought to my home computer. My wife should have the same for her mail. I might have webbish mail accounts in addition to the regular e-mail provided by my ISP. Also... Other people do it (using fetchmail, procmail, postfix, imap) with their eyes closed, so I want to do it too. It's the Linux-y thing to do. :-) Are other reasons necessary?
