[Evolution-hackers] Sharing mailboxes with windows

2002-04-24 Thread Matts
Many Linux users are Dual booters, they sometime use windows and sometimes Linux. One problem with this is that the mail you have fetched in windows is not available in Linux and vice versa. One solution to this is to create a utility that evolution calls upon start and exit. On start to

That won't help if the ISP only is using POP3 and they don't allow you to store your messages on the server for x amount days so you have to get them off. Of course, that solution should be that you create your own IMAP server that fetch the mail off the POP3 server but how many normal users

Using IMAP ? Would that help ? What about the sent items folder ? Would using IMAP imply that you leave the messages on the server some time ? That would need some semaphore to show that both systems have fetched some mail, which then can be removed from the server. It sounds hard to do for me.

What you're wanting to do simply isn't possible to do right now, and even if it were then it would not be worthwhile. You have a huge filesystem barrier in your way right now. Since Windows cannot and never will be able to read ext2/ext3/XFS/ReiserFS filesystems, this means you can't store your

I am already reading my mail from three places. I use both POP and IMAP, evolution, pine and mozilla-mail ( under windows) . I think Outlook fits too. I just use POP as the final one, it simply saves the email in a safe place. For the rest IMAP does it's best job. peace, Costin PSand i

You dont need any explicit support from evolution to handle this. i.e. you just manually run a script (at startup? login?) that merges the mailboxes, before you even start evolution, and similarly when you're done. A port would be difficult. On Wed, 2002-04-24 at 16:10, Matts wrote: Many
