I'm trying to simplify things... IMAP seems like THE ANSWER:)

yes, I noticed that in that web site you mentioned before.. What i want
to do is use my local IMAP account to bring in all my emails, and have
all my filtered folders in that IMAP account. That way I can use a
laptop to connect to my IMAP account, get all my emails via IMAP and
have access to them on the laptop. This method I figured out while I was
sitting home in a special boot for my foot, and the laptop was easier to
use than hobbling to another room & getting to my desktop..
