I guess I was a bit unclear...I use imap which works fine, however this has the drawback that if my laptop is not connected to the LAN I cannot read the mails on the server. I would like to be able to automatically download copies locally.
That is not easy to do and prone to error. Your mail server is 'permanent', its processing, rules, etc. are 'permanent', but your laptop is 'temporary'. It would have to automatically know you were connected, know to chage processing rules from when you were not connected, etc. What email client are you using?
.ok, I guess I can always "save" each individual email in a local folder as well as in a imap-folder..but given a choice I would like to be able to automatically transfer mail from my imap-folders to a local folder without it affecting my imap-services...maybe it cant be done without "popping", I don't really know. But it would be neat if it could be done...I was thinking that procmail might be able to filter email to two differents spools, one being on the imap-server and the other being a spool on the newtork, i.e a local spool on my laptop.
But that way seems impossible since there are two spools 'sometimes', sometimes not. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
