I collect all mail with POP3, then serve in on the lan using IMAP. I do _not_ leave any mail on any server that isn't mine! > One of the benefits of Eudora is the ease of archiving and > searching. I'm pretty sure Eudora used mbox format - which is on file for each folder.

You just need to be sure to "pack" the folders after changes. I prefer maildir. Regarding searching, I use mairix. It creates an index and so the search is _fast_.
