Hi folks,
I am helping some friends who run a non-profit office and have had one opensuse machine on a larger network. The machines on the network are connected to a DSL modem via a switch and have fixed ip addresses.
They do e-mail only on the linux machine using kmail. They rarely connect to the internet on the machines running MS Windows. They are happy that they have no viruses and no crashes on the linux machine in more than 8 years. Now they want to add a second linux machine for doing e-mail - I will put opens use 11.3 on this and I want to configure kmail to use the same e-mail address as on the other machine.
They have a steadily increasing volume of e-mail correspondence, and they need to keep the same e-mail address and domain. Currently they are using pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com as their incoming and outgoing servers. The domain is hosted on gmail servers.
Is there a way for them to share the same inbox, sent, drafts, etc. folders over the network? If not, then is it possible to easily switch to imap? Or is there a third option? Is there some article that can get me started? I am an advanced user, but not a sysadmin and any help would be very much appreciated. We are in a rural area in India and I can not easily get hands on linux help. Thanks, Gustav.
Gmail supports IMAP, simply switch to that - accessing email from multiple machines becomes easy after that.
