ugh.  i guess you could proxy authenticate the pop server, but this would
  be a lot of work, for marginal gain.

How about putting 'liw' rights on ~/Mail/inbox?  If only insert rights
worked correctly.

  (who wants to rewrite the world just to 
  support some laptops?)

Funny guy.

  but this is a pain.  i like to collect new mail by popping the inc button in 
  my gui, not by finding a window on an upstream machine etc.

alias inc rsh popmachine -n inc

Well, it would probably have to be a shell script.  And you'd have to rescan
since popmachine couldn't update the .xmhcache.

I inc into the cache too, but if I'm in disconnected mode (surprised peter
didn't mention this) the file doesn't get stored over the wire until I
reconnect.
