Here's one thing to keep in mind.. if you have the facilities, why dont
you use ssh for forwarding xclients (eg exmh, every SA's friend) to your
home machine? This way, you can keep your mail in all the folders on the
remote host, and also you keep your mail in an encrypted channel onto your
home machine. This also is handy, since ssh does copmression (yes, so
does PPP, but it does help..)
Just my $.04 (inflation)
