I need help solving a problem, pointers to existing solutions will be
most appreciated. Suggestions about developing a "roll your own"
solution should consider that there is an existing commercial product
that addresses this particular problem, and my desire is the solution
not the exercise of developing it. Hold off on telling me to use the
existing product until you read the problem statement below, please!.
I want to keep my mail storage in sync between my laptop and several
desktops at diverse locations. In other words, right now I'm at 35,000
feet over New Mexico (plus or minus some imprecision) and my laptop
doesn't have all the email messages that are on my system at home, but
I'd like to reference them. I'm using Netscape as my email client, and
I've got all but one system set to leave messages on the ISP server when
I get them, so that one system presently sees all my traffic. I'd like
to be able to sync all the systems, somehow. I don't mind paying for a
commercial product although of course a free open source solution would
be preferred.
BTW, netscape isn't much help, literally. Their help model assumes net
connectivity, which isn't valid when the seatback phone dataport costs
$2.99/minute plus $2.99 to connect! That makes me suspect that their
architecture isn't really geared to the disconnected user, so they may
not be the best solution for my requirements.
The one solution of which I'm presently aware is Micro$oft Outlook. If
we can't offer anything equivalent I'd say our dissing the Gator's gang
is not based on much of a foundation! So I'm really hoping someone will
come up with a good suggestion for a comparable Linux solution!!!!
THANKS!
