Partially yes... Some clients will allow you to keep an offline copy
of a mail, while keeping it in the online store... ie, a local cache
of the message. Outlook does this, and calls it offline
synchronization I believe... It can do the same with connections to
Exchange servers too. I think Thunderbird has something similar as
well (for IMAP only obviously).
