Thx for the replies, from Dave, Guy and Anne on this. Will look at this slowly. Of course it never fails for the first time in my life I actually bought a mail program (Increimail) a couple of months ago and not it looks like I will have to scrap it.

Not sure if this is an option for you (your ISP has to provide it), but IMAP will allow you to keep all your mail (in folders) on the server, so that you can read it from anywhere. The more common protocol, POP, usually has you downloading all your mail to your local system (though most mail systems have an option to leave a copy on the server.) Many Linux mail clients support both POP and IMAP (Evolution, Mozilla Mail and Sylpheed, among many others.) >>> >>> >>> ><snip> > >>Mozilla Thunderbird is the obvious candidate, but to get it set up to >>work in both environments will take some research and tinkering.
