I could maybe (tips how?) use fetchmail to check all folders to which procmail delivers mail and forward the new ones home, deleting them on the work machine. But at home I may want to delete (most of) the new messages, keep a few in the different folders, maybe even administer my folders at home, moving a few messages around and then write back the changes to the folders to my work machine. What I currently plan to do is: To get new mail: ---- Go online - Change the procmail recipe on my work machine to deliver all mail to $HOME/single-folder single folder outside of the usual maildir - use rsync, copying $HOME/mail to my home machine ---- Go offline Now use mutt at home, reading new mail, organizing folders just if I were at work. When I finish: ---- Go online - use rsync, copying $HOME/mail from my home machine back to my work machine - Change the procmail recipe back to the original, delivering to folders in $HOME/mail - run formail -s procmail < $HOME/single-folder to sort mail that came in while I was offline to the usual folders ---- Go offline Nils -- *New* *New* *New* - on shellac records Windows HE - see top 10 reasons to downgrade on Historical Edition http://www.microsoft.com/windowshe
