Dear Girish;
1. I guess I am a bit confused. I would not like to use gmail. I would like to
pull mail for all users
at a desktop and then distribute it to the respective users. An exercise in
having a fast and
effective way of using, distributing and re-sending mail. Would like the users
to
Use mutt or similar text based e-mail client with vim as a text based editor
dealing with just mail.
Presume one requires
(a) A static IP.
(b) Exim+mutt+Dovecot/postfix dusly configured.
2. This is where my raeding and warped logic got me, hence explored dyn dns and
in the end gave up.
Wanted to link it to a text based messenger service finally.
3. Why all this? A moot point, feel the GUI is not an accurate medium of usage
and encourages
generality, limited attention span etc...
Maybe am just senile
Regards
Podi
