Hi, 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..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. Anyway, thanks for the input. Thomas On Tue, 27 Aug 2002, Joe & Sesil Morris (NTM) wrote:

Is there a way to fetch mail - copies - on an imap server that dumps a copy on the local machine, and what program might do that?
You could fetchmail from a pop server with the -k (keep) option to not delete the original from the server, though to be honest I don't understand what you are wanting to do either.
