The problem then would become how to sync that Thunderbird local storage with two other computers.
IMAP does that automagically.
There is no longer imap, you told me to download the email to my client app... you are saying to:
You're running Dovecot on the laptop? I don't understand that. If you want to be able to read messages while offline, then just configure your email app to download the messages when downloading, instead of headers only.
So, store the hundreds of gigabytes from the dovecot server into thunderbird, waiting some hours... and several crashes of Thunderbird. Or, store local mail in thunderbird, not a local dovecot. Then how to sync thunderbird local store, which is no longer on imap, to another thunderbird on another computer, and keep them in sync over the years, downloading email on any of the two computers? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
