Sorry if this has been beaten to death already and I missed it, but... My situation: In my house we have a web & mail server that runs sendmail. I currently use KMail, from my box on the internal network, as my e-mail client. I would like to keep using KMail to store my mail and to check it whenever possible, but I want to learn to use a text-based client such as mutt or pine so that I can ssh into the server when I am away ( I commute to a university where the only access is a roaming profile on crappy windoze 95 boxes. ) So far so good, I can already do this, but can I get those messages into my own box later? This may sound like a stupid thing to want to do, but is there any way to have it leave a copy of mail on the server (or I guess, the spool, since it already is being checked from the same machine) so I can download it later into KMail? This because I am a lazy GUI weenie, but mainly because I'd like to have access to all my old messages when I have my main box (soon to be a laptop) but no 'net access. I'd really appreciate any opinions or advice on this, but hopefully w/out starting a text-based client holy war ;) TIA, Lori _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
