It keeps a database of which mails have been downloaded already (using server-side checksums), and that way you could leave all your mail on one central server, downloading it on different clients (and downloading every mail only once per client). Your .fetchmailrc would look something like this: poll with protocol POP3 options uidl user there with password is here options keep GH ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Actually, since Sean seems to be using Eudora (X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.1.1.1), whose files are in the standard Unix mailbox format, simply uploading the mailbox file and appending it to /var/mail/user on the server *should* do the trick.

No - the previous answer to your query was correct - but imap is going in the right direction. You could set up an imap server on your own FreeBSD machine and access your email and all your folders from anywhere with it, even from multiple accounts (which can be pop3 or imap, or whatever), feeding into your imap server. Of course, you have to set up your machine as a real mail server to do this, which might not be what you want to do. - jt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The complicated answer is "everything is possible under the sky". Maybe yes, if you ask this question on [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;) You will ask them to direct you to a tool that takes a .dbx file, splits it into individual e-mails, in a format that is not proprietary to Microshit and then you can FTP those back to the server, placing them either in ~smurphy/Maildir/new/ or in /var/mail/smurphy - I guess you already see how much time you will waste using Microshit products! -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ Q: How many Martians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Hard Mail Question
Without using "leave mail on server" or "leave mail on server for x days" is it possible after I have downloaded my email to my computer using pop3 to put it back so I can access it from a different computer. Possibly ftp it back to the server and copy it to my mail directory to redownload it? or mabey install imap and place it in my inbox folder on my local drive... would that throw it back on the server?
