The goal is to keep laptop and desktop machine dovecot accounts in sync, in both directions. Even better, two laptops and one desktop.
I do something like this, but two portable Androids and the desktop. I have no problems with it. Any change to any one of the couple of dozen IMAP accounts I use is available to the other devices.
The downside is that on the Android devices the mail app I use -- K@, a development from K9 -- needs to be told to rescan manually. Setting the rescan period to 'automatic' for less than some longer period, an hour say, places too much demand on the batter for wifi/DATA use.
You misunderstand.
I want to sync three imap *servers*. Or at least, two.
The laptop is used on places where there is no internet or very limited, where I can not connect to the imap server back at home.
I'm going to drag it out of you bit by bit, aren't I, with all the "no I can't do that because ...."
My response to the above is "so what? That applies to me as well. I can flag my IMAP reader to download as well if I'm off to a place where there isn't connectivity.
If there isn't connectivity they synchronization is not an issue. I cant update anything; I can't read any more, I can't differentially alter anything.
I'm not a player in the game any more.
If you're going off-line just configure your reader to download.
And when you're back connected it updates with anything new. That's the way IMAP works.
You're over-egging this.
I'd go further than James: Introducing your dovecot on the laptop or both laptops is just confusing the issue, completely UN-necessary. You are just adding complexity and confusion.
KISS. Use IMAP the way it was intended, stop fighting it.
or dl to your own server and access your own server to read. you don't have a requirement for dovecot at all this way. and it works, been doing it for years. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
