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.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
