So you want an IMAP server, then? > Thing is, setting up the first program is complicated. Indee-diddly-doo. What I do: sync mail from my main IMAP account to a local maildir structure using offlineimap. Then I can access it with mutt or any other program that speaks maildir, read it, move it around, delete it. Those actions are applied to the server by offlineimap as well. I use mutt for that most of the time. I also use KMail as graphical mail client, but that is completely separate from the offlineimap-mutt setup and it uses its own offline cache. Sending mail away is set up individually in each client (mutt/kmail) and they talk to my provider’s SMTP directly. This setup has limited flexibility in that you need to sync manually. A local imap server would allow for many clients to talk to it at the same time in real-time. But I don’t see this as a requirement for you since you only have one client, basically. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
