Hi there,
Going to try for clean in context.

I'm guilty of putting myself through that. Have run email on a small domain
for a few years and am in the process of moving several more to an entirely
new system.
Ah ha! laughs..but this might rock my world.
Been *really* deep in the various configuration options for multi-domain
email setup.
Translation: thank you Santa!!
Oh no!
You have no idea how much I use this address, even for file converting.
Services, lists..my sculpting class for those experiencing blindness.
Yet another step in the ongoing decline of Google.
Amen!!
1, allow me to export all of my gmail content to them.
I could provide that ability, see below.
I may need to get a better picture, have never used Thunderbird.
2, either allows for user name / password log in directly with a web
interface,
RoundCube web interface okay?
actually, you would be doing a number of people a huge favor if I can test
this.
While roundcube has been suggested, there is some confusion around how
well it can function with speech.
so, delighted to test that theory for sure.
or where I can ssh into a shell or workspace and find an email client,
think Alpine for example.
Hmmm. Hadn't considered that.
Perhaps ssh with ForceCommand=/usr/bin/alpine ?
um... my lack of direct Linux awareness is showing.
Still, perhaps?
If it helps, I ssh into the shell dreamhost provides my office, finding
alpine there.
Better example, i use the current compile of sshdos to reach shellworld,
which is rooted in Ubuntu. there are browsers that can provide the what
to do with an email link, assuming that the interface does not manage the
job..but you likely know this.
3, where I can also send email, in theory once I have all of my gmail
content, I can set that email to forward without losing access to a great
deal of personal, professional, and legal files.
Yes, something like Mutt might or might be configured for imap.gmail.com
However, I am not a programmer, and given all the changes google is
making, wonder how long they will allow third party access of that type.
Would rather locate something Linux friendly, and even pay for a door
then need to construct my own house if that makes sense.
any good options?
I've considered offering email services, this might be something I could do.
I think I am going to cry!
How much storage does your email use? My VPS is fairly restricted on space
(it can be upgraded).
Oh there is allot I can dump, of course if I can ever see it again. Not
much of the standard gmail would provide..what sort of limit?
As far as "exporting" from another account - I used Thunderbird to drag &
drop all messages between (active) IMAP accounts when setting up new system.
How does that look exactly?
Will I have say a folder for the sent mail, one for my current
inbox..allowing me to clear some of that down, my contact list?
In short if you remember what basic gmail look like?
I suppose you create a spam folder as well?
Another question - were you wanting your own domain, or is the domain
irrelevant?
I had not considered the question, too busy seeking mail client ideas and
getting very very confused.
as it turns out I have two domains that are kept at gkg.net, but are not
associated with a hosting plan.
if that is too complicated, believe me I would gladly become
k...@noodlesoup.ca..if it solves this problem.
Absolutely speechless with joy,
Kare
Cheers,
rb
