Hm, not sure --- I've always been thinking that dovecot is an MTA that would replace exim4 (or another MTA) when installing it to use the IMAP part. Now it's obvious when looking at the packages that the IMAP part can be used without the rest of dovecot. Either I've been mistaken for a long time, or something has recently changed, and really I wonder which is the case ... -- http://www.asciiribbon.org/ http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am using kmail on several computers. For synchronizing E-Mails I am using unison with unison-gtk, which just synchronises my ~/Mail directory. I read, that most MUA are using ~/Mail for their e-mail storage, so it might work among different mail clients as well. Good luck Hans

You could use gnus to do that. Just set it up on your real laptop, copy the mail storage from the spare one to some directory on the real laptop and incorporate the new mail into the old storage. You can also do it the other way round, i. e. copy the more recent storage from the spare laptop to the real one, set up gnus to use it and incorporate your old mail into that storage. You can also have several storages if you want to and/or create virtual groups out of mail from the old and the new storage. -- html messages are obsolete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
