I'm certainly not set on IMAP if something else can do the trick. I'm also not opposed to storing my mails locally if need be. Setting up my own SMTP and forwarding to that might be interesting exercise. With your particular setup is mutt updated on receipt of new emails in near-realtime or do you have to periodically poll for them? -- Lewis
