Hi, I sync my mail between my desktop and my laptop easily and simply, and have never lost mail yet.
I run courier-imap on both machines as an IMAP server. Any IMAP server would do but it has to use Maildir format instead of mbox format for the storage. This is so that each message is a single file instead of the entire folder being a single file. Evolution is configured to read mail from localhost via IMAP, and I use fetchmail to get mail and drop it into the IMAP store. I then use unison to sync the two machines. The end result is that I can add, move and delete messages on both machines and when I sync them, there are no conflicts. This is entirely because messages are individual files. I'm tired, if this isn't making any sense, just mail me again... :) Ross -- Ross Burton Software Engineer OneEighty Software Ltd Tel: +44 20 8680 8712 Cygnet House Fax: +44 20 8680 8453 12-14 Sydenham Road [EMAIL PROTECTED] Croydon, Surrey CR9 2ET, UK http://www.180sw.com./ ==================================================================== Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Act 2000 together with any and all Regulations in force pursuant to the Act OneEighty Software Ltd reserves the right to monitor any or all incoming or outgoing communications as provided for under the Act _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
