exim filter woes
I've set up fetchmail to grab mail from 2 ISP's and send the mail to exim.
The mail is then run through my .forward file. After that I've been
accessing the mail (which is on my server) from my workstation on another
computer. I'm currently trying both balsa (stable version) and Netscape
messenger (4.76). I'm looking for an email client that supports IMAP but
will still let me run the email clients filter files without transferring
them off the server to my local machine. In other words, I'd like to keep
all the mail on the server, access it from my workstation, download "copies"
to my workstation, and then apply the email client's filters. For some
reason, Netscape will only "transfer" the mail to my workstation so the
copies are lost off the server (not what I want). Balsa on the other hand
does fine execpt it has no filtering capability. In addition, I can't seem
to get my exim .forward file to correctly create a seperate mailing list
folder (it does fine on the debian ones, these are other lists) so I can't
access half my mail when using balsa.
I'm not committed to doing this one way. I'd just like some ideas on "a" way
to do this.
The real question is:
How can I keep all my mail on my server, and download copies locally to my
workstation so I can filter them?
Any suggestions or examples of how anyone has done this would be a boone.
TIA,
Jesse
