I've been trying to come up with a good solution to this for a while. 
Basically the situation is this. I have a desktop which acts as my server. 
In the past that was the only place I read mail, so use Kmail to POP my 
mail from school.

Now I have a laptop and would like to be able to have easy access from it 
and any other computer I happen to use. IMAP seems like the way to go. He 
is the problem. Kmail is always running, that is how new mail gets 
downloaded, but after accessing a folder through IMAP, kmail's index file 
gets screwy because it is out of sync with the folder contents, closing 
kmail and `touch`ing the folder fixes this problems.

So my question is this: What solutions you you guys use for this situation? 
Should I be using fetchmail to do the POP and then read everything through 
IMAP, even locally? Should I just have the school forward all mail to my 
local MTA? What do you do?
