Hi Anne:

The way I did it was with:
IMAP: cyrus (lot of people also use courier)
Fetchmail: to pick your mail from your mail server (i have read that it
can also be used for filtering).
Postfix: to send your mail (I read that it was easier to setup and safer
than sendmail)
Procmail: for filtering.

I created a test mail account and until I didn't feel every thing was
working fine I didn't migrate from my original setup.

I installed every thing from Mandrake CD's.

The HOWTO on cyrus was very helpful.

Googling for postfix procmail cyrus will give you lot of information.

In www.procmail.org you will find some very interesting and useful
links.


Having your mails available anywhere is perhaps the most valuable aspect
of IMAP.

It is worth the effort.
