While I agree that you should be able to run Thunderbird(and Evolution) remotely, you're going to chew up bandwidth shoving graphics over the network. Not a problem for a LAN, but painful on a slower network. Are you running an IMAP or POP server? Why not forward the ports you need over ssh and configure your mail client to use the forwarded ports? -- Galen Seitz gal...@seitzassoc.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
