This would also presumably be a good solution for a stand-alone
PC if you wanted to use more than one e-mail client (different
clients for different jobs) but wanted to have just one set of
mail folders? I ask as a Linux e-mailing neophyte: I got the
impression, looking at sendmail/fetchmail and exmh, that most
e-mail clients move mail out of the central mail pool into
their own mail folders.
Are there any negative issues/performance hits when running
imapd on a standalone PC?
(Walter, I know you just got almost the exact same e-mail directly
from me but I'm using Webmail from work and I always get caught out
by its limitations)
