Of course, when you have to ssh to a machine to see mail there, Thunderbird is out :-)
it is not a problem if you have X-forwarding and run an instance of thunderbird on the remote machine.
That alters the mail flow, and needs processing mail at the other machine.
sorry, that makes no sense to me
you ssh to a machine to see the mail there you access the "mail there" with a thunderbird instance "there" that alters mail flow
No.
You told me to use forwarding, which purpose is to route mail from remote machine to local machine, and then run Thunderbird on local machine - as it is not possible to run Thunderbird on remote machine via ssh, terrible idea. Very slow.
no, do not run Tb on "local" machine or you will need to provide the mail directory over sshfs/nfs/... then run alpine and you do not need X-forwarding -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
