the few times I tried to set that up, it totally stopped my mail from getting
to me, so I changed to fetchmail to my primary box. JUST TEMPORARILY I am
using my laptop more, because I've got a banged-up foot & spending my day on
my sofa, with my foot propped up. SO, I changed my email on 2 accounts ( the
ones with LIST traffic) so I could get them also on my laptop. I STILL want
them on my desktop..
you are probably right, and if I could do it that way, I might try. Every time
I try to install an IMAP server, and change that 1 line from /var/mail
to /home/user/MAILDIR my wife doesn't get her mail coming in.
