I think I need nnimap so I can check mail with my phone too. But, perhaps I am mistaken. Do any of you use gnus & another device to read mail, when you're not at your computer?

In fact, I'm still willing to give it a shot. Even if IMAP isn't the best solution, I can always work out something with fetchmail / procmail, but, I still need a way to be able to read / check e-mail on my phone, even if it has already been gathered by fetchmail. I used to love the way Mail.app could download mail, but still leave it on the server for some time . . that could be a solution, since I'm sure fetchmail can do that too . . . -Dave
