This one was one that Jeff and I were discussing a while ago, there don't seem to be many good solutions. It's especially difficult if you want to sync both ways. The ones Jeff and I canvassed were: * One IMAP server which is the 'primary' mail repository. Most IMAP clients don't sync both ways though. isync syncs a single local Maildir folder with a remote IMAP repository in both directions, but that's not very useful if you have 70-odd folders like I do, or if you don't like Maildir. * You could, if you can sync your procmailrc, or your mail client's filtering rules, download mail using fetchmail from a central server - this doesn't cope well with post-procmail filtering (ie if you save mail to a different folder after the auto-filtering). There are problems with bi-directional syncing in general. If intermezzo or coda turn out not to be the answer, rsync-ing your mailboxes might be... -Mary. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
