Unfortunately, I still use 'mbox' mode and offlineimap seems to only work with maildir -- otherwise it seems like a great idea > > You might then set up your VM on your home machine to either (i) download > mail from the IMAP server into your local folders, or (ii) read it directly > from the IMAP server using server folders. I think #2 is closest to my needs. Couple of additional questions: 1. Is there a companion function to vm-imap-move-mail that moves mail in the opposite direction -- from a VM folder to an IMAP mail box? 2. Is there a way to get the 'FCC' copy to go to an imap folder?
