Hi, I suggest a simple server that fetches your mail from all your inboxes and then an imap server to serve it to clients. This way, you can read your mail from everywhere, and always see the same messages and stuff. I have this setup running perfectly: fetchmail, courier-imap (ssl), spamassassin, filtering with procmail, SMTPS (postfix, to send mails from networks without smtp available or from my laptop (no need to constantly switch smtp's)) and to finish the job: squirrelmail for web access (apache2). I read my mail mostly in evolution, but occasionaly when I'm on a foreign system I use the webmail, which is pretty awesome. I believe that, if you're going to setup a webserver anyway that this might be quite a good solution! Philippe De Ryck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
