Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, that sounds good (or reasonable). Since I'm e-mailing from clients off the server and using a combination of OE (I know, I know, ...) and Evolution - I'll just make multiple identities. >From OE I have 2 IMAP accounts on my tiny server. One for regular stuff, one for mailing lists. I have OE set to synchronize send/receive with my server. I also have an account with my ISP. I am using fetchmail to pull the stuff down to my server and view it with OE with an IMAP client. I guess I could just use POP in OE to get it directly - but then when I switch laptops, or boot into RH9.0, or jump onto my SuSE desktop - I'll lose that e-mail (I pop then delete). So for that situation I fetchmail it to the server and use IMAP clients to view it on whatever PC I'm on. If I read/delete - it's gone. If I read and don't delete - my understanding is that it stays in my folder on the server - so I can then reread it when I jump onto a different machine. (hope I got that right - time to test!). Finally, I have an account at my ISP set up in OE. Under Account / Properties I left it unclicked on "Include theis account when sending/receving or synching". So fetchmail will still grab mail from that server. BUT - when composing a message, I can click on "From:" and use my ISP account. Hoping it works. Kinda cludgy, though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
