[courier-users] local copies of my imap store

[Jerry Asher]

My imap store (~/Maildir/...) is on the company server, attached to the Internet via a T1 link. The server is usually, but not always available. The server is on the Internet, but is not close by (about 20 hops and two firewalls from me.)

I have a gig of stored email, and a very nice network at home, and so, at home, I would prefer my workstation to read/search/operate on the local copy of the imap store.

When away from home, I would like my laptops to use either:

A) the company imap store on the t1
or maybe even
B) a local on the laptop imap store (what's a gig?)

And then at various times I would resync the imap stores (using unison perhaps).

Among the benefits I perceive would be:

a) faster access to old messages
b) access when the primary server is down or unavailable

What's the best way to approach this? Via:
1) fetchmail?
2) unison/rsync?
3) some well known imap service/setup?
4) mua client's offline support?
5) other?

Thanks for the advice,

Jerry
