Don't depend so much on your personalized stuff. Just switch! ;-) I had this plan for quite a long time and always pushed it forward but did not switch. Now a nice guy gave me a hit on the topic, and finally I just did it. (In less than a week.) It wasn't such a big thing, acutally, cause I already used the MH mailbox format.

I think syncing > over SSH is at the moment simpler and good enough. I prefer to work remotely to avoid all that stuff. But this requires an own server of course. Syncing file systems is a problem if you want to use mail servers that don't belong to you (e.g. free mailers). I think this was the setup of interest: Several computers and a free mail account. meillo
