Cyrus imap/exim on a local machine & whichever Mail User Agent I feel like on whatever machine I am sat at works a treat for me I use Mutt, pegasus(MS), & evolution on various machines for various reasond & they all work. Imap restricts your use of MUA abit but as you are using imap remotly already you'll know that. The only issue I have is that evolution ( & some others I beleive) store a local cache of emails which is a bit of a waste, can get in the way, & doesn't speed anything up on my network. I haven't tried very hard to stop this, it may be possible. Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
