Well, what I'd like to do, install a email program that fetches the
emails and then stores them on my system. Then I can have Thunderbird
or any other email program connect to that and view, create, send or
whatever emails. Thing is, setting up the first program is
complicated. It is a bit over my head. From what I've read, it is
pretty picky too. It has to be fairly perfect or things don't work.
I'd need a seriously good how to to even get started. It could turn into
another long thread like that goofy monitor. :/
That's basically fetchmail. Although I gather that's now
abandonware-ish. There is a successor iirc, but I stopped using it
because it broke...
If you can then get that into Dovecot ...
My current setup is I have dovecot set up, then whenever I connect (with
thunderbird) I have bulk rules that just move everything across from the
internet into dovecot.
