I've been interested in trying to set up a system like that for some years, but never had occasion to make a Project out of it, and never found an obvious place to get started - especially for when migrating away from a workflow which is already based on having the mail client configured to contact the remote server directly. (And even more especially when dealing with an IMAP account, and wanting to be able to seamlessly affect mail on the IMAP server from the UI, which is provided by the mail client.) Could you go into more detail on how you have / got this set up, and/or point to resources which explain the process (well enough for someone technically savvy to be able to pick it up)? -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
