I get mail from my server using my work computer and my home computer, using POP. I have about 40 mail folders in PowerMail, and about 30 mail filters. My mail database has about 70'000 messages in it, and between us SpamSieve and I trash a couple of hundred junk messages each day.
I would love to be able to cut down on a significant part of my email workload, by having stuff I do at one location reflected at the other. IMAP seems to offer a way to do this, and having finally installed Dovecot IMAP on my server I've been able to do a bit of experimenting. I have some questions: is it possible to filter IMAP mail? how well does IMAP cope with large quantities of mail? is there any way of having a centralised record of sent mail? In particular, I need to be access all of my existing mail even if I lose access to the server - but as far as I can tell, PowerMail only displays cached IMAP mail while that connection exists. Is there any way around that? Thanks, Daniele -- Apple Juice Chapter Arts Centre Market Road Cardiff CF5 1QE 029 2019 0140
