When I asked for a sugestion for mail send/retrieval tools/clients I've several anwsers pointing to offlineimap.
I've tryed it and I found it quite nice, it syncs my university server and my laptop client like a charm... However I'm finding some issues that I would like to comment: 1 - The maildir format is supported by mutt. Anyway I would like to be able to have some graphical mail client also.. Neither kmail or sylpheed seem to support the maildir format.. 2 - How about sending? IMAP does not take cover of sending, and here I've seen quite some different approaches: - Tunneling to my mail server: No good. Sometimes my mail server is my ISP (when I'm at home, at my home lan), other times it's my university mailer. - Running courier, or qmail, or sendmail: Aren't those too complicated/big for the job? I feel them as "server" mailers, not "client" mailers... I do not need to handle hundreds or thousands of mail, I just need a mail qeue when I'm offline and a way to dispatch that qeue when I get online.. sSmtp doens't seem to support qeueing, masqmail is maybe the most near tool I've found... Is there a reason why I should use one of the "big" mailers? Thanks. Joao Clemente
