Well, I hadn't really expected to find anyone on the list who is willing to be so helpful, but since you are . . . :) Basically, your understanding of my description is correct. Of course, my own first thought when I started thinking about this was precisely what you just suggested. The problem with that is that I am with one of the big commercial ISPs (Comcast), and I don't have a static IP address, so I can't point to my router from any arbitrary machine on the internet. I do believe that I can do some kind of dynamic DNS with my router. Then I can probably pass incoming connections to port (whatever for imap) through to my home machine. At some point, it just seems that the "right" solution is too much hassle, so I was just looking for a lower energy solution. I could completely believe that the solution I came up with might have some fatal flaw, but I thought I would give it a shot first . . . Neil
