The main drawback of this approach is that you have to copy all your mailbox in every location. This mean several GiB for me. That's why I would prefer to keep everything on the IMAP server (and periodically backup it in a single computer). >>> About message composition, do you have any recommended editor, given >>> the fact that I never used a lot Vi nor Emacs? >> >> I use emacs with post-mode. > > sup's keybindings are modeled largely after mutt's, and not really modeled > after neither vim nor emacs, so you don't have any benefits in learning > how to use sup if you already know how to use vim/emacs (or vice versa). > sup has a setting where you can change your preferred editor.

That's true: *sup* initially selects vim as default mail editor. I never had before special requirements for text editor and therefore gedit was enough. Do you think is worth spending time to learn a text-based editor even for writing e-mails?
