Install an IMAP server. Pretty easy to do, and lets you do geeky things like install fetchmail, an MTA, server-side filtering, SpamAssassin, etc. And it frees you from total reliance upon Evolution. Heresy, you say? No. It allows you to also install web mail so that you can read your own email while away from home. Also, sometimes Evo "breaks". When I installed Debian Unstable on my new computer last month, Evo wouldn't install because of broken library depen- dencies. Because I had an IMAP server, I was able to use Sylpheed until the broken library was fixed and I could install Evo. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA "I want to have children and I know my time is running out: I want to have them while my parents are still young enough to take care of them."
