Hi,
I have used evolution for a long time, but actually I want to seek some
changes as it was so trouble to getting my mail on one desktop system
only.
Well, what I'm going to achieve is, using my home server, to receive and
store my email from my ISP account, and I can easily setup different
desktop system to fetch my mail from the server with out the chance to
lost my email and trouble in sync. different mail box in different
box...
I have read some howtos only, and I think I can use fetchmail to get my
mail from isp, stored it on my server. Then I can setup a POP3 server
right.
And my question is, which pop3 server is better?
Also, it seems that there are a few different mail box format is being
used (mbox, maildir, etc), right? What should I choice to use?
Would you mind give me some sugguestion??
Thanks!

I used postfix, courier imap, fetchmail and procmail for a similar
solution (using the maildir format for mail storage). I gathered mail
from all my different accounts(using fetchmail) onto my own machine,
which ran an IMAP server (and a mailserver for my own domain). I used
procmail for sorting the mail. This way I could reach all my mail from
anywhere, with any client, using my own server. Be sure to read up on
security when setting things up.
