Hi,

I've got a little WLAN network at home: desktop Suse 9.2 running samba and two ancient laptops both on win2k.

I mostly work on the desktop, but have been known to use the laptop in the bath etc and certainly when on the road :-)

My wife uses her laptop only.

My question is:

Can I use KMail on the desktop and save it so that another win email programm can read the mails for when I take the laptop on the road? Similarly, can I just overwrite the new emails folders onto the desktop when I return home?

Or any other suggestions that would achieve a working setup?

Hi Ingo, First thing that comes to mind is, install imap & fetchmail on your desktop. With that set-up you can read/write mail on any client. In order to being able to read your mail while disconnected, install fetch-mail there too, but configured it on your laptop that it will not erase mail after fetching. But there are probably other ways that do the job.... rsync is nice, but unless you put it in a cron-job, you'll probably forget to sync, and when you find out, it's probably to late ;-) Hans
