Would you like to create configuration allowing you to use *multiple* email clients/news readers in parallel? e.g. 1) I prefer to install "local IMAP server" (e.g. dovecot) and use fetchmail to download messages from remote mailboxes into local imap folders (with sieve/procmail filtering and sorting). 2) You can use leafnode to download usenet newsgroups (from many sources) to local news spool also accessible via nntp -- [pl>en Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu : a...@xl.wp.pl Blessed is he who expects no gratitude, for he shall not be disappointed. -- W.
