Hi, I have here one linuxbox (RedHat 7.0 updated to current state of updates.redhat.com) connected through to Internet through dial-up and one (my wife's) notebook with M$-Windows (and Netscape Messenger for reading emails) connected through the same dial-up line (takes a lot of non-electronic communication to synchronize our access :-), but it is not the issue). I would like to make one centralized IMAP server (UW Washington one) on my computer which would hold all emails both for me and for her. She has an account on her university IMAP server (MIT) and I have created account at fastmail.fm. Obviously, we would like both to have our emails synchronized between the home server and the respective external account. I have installed local UW imapd and get all my emails through it. The problem lies in synchronization of mailboxen.
There seems to be two programs for synchronization of IMAP accounts: isync and mailsync (both with homepages on sourceforge.net). However, the first one uses maildir (and ME does not seem to like an idea of imap2imap synchronization and despises any other format than maildir), which cannot be used with UW imapd, and other just does not work for me (even with discussion of the current maintainer, I am not able to connect to fastmail.fm; does anybody have a binary .rpm package, which I could download?). There seems to be two solution to this problem: * use patch for imapd for reading maildir boxen. I tried that (using patch for Pine 4.4* from http://hico.fphil.uniba.sk/pine-patches.html) but when I tried to connect to locally created maildir file, I have got just browsing through directories -- impad have not recognized it). * making other local maildir tree which would be double synchronized (once local IMAP-var_dir, then var_dir-external IMAP, and again local IMAP-var_dir) through isync, but it seems to me too complicated. Does anybody have any better advice for me, please?
