That's just the point. I archive my sent mail and also important
incoming mail, and I want to share the archive system between my
laptop and my desktop.
I have a fetchmail setup right now, but this is not what I want.
I want to wade through my 100 emails/day exactly once: some is junk,
some is mailing lists which I mostly digest and delete, some is
important and needs to be answered and/or saved.
Right now I see scripts as my only chance; if someone has experience
with a good setup please let me know.
