Q re qmail / cyrus imapd and Sent folder on server
I'm still striving for mail client independence. What this means is that all mail for everyone will remain on the server and ideally I'd like the user to be able to use an imap client of his/her choosing from a PC of his/her choosing, i.e. a PC at work, PC from home, HPC from wherever. Some imap clients do store Sent mail on the server, but some still insist on keeping it local. I know that qmail can log all incoming and outgoing mail but that's a little overkill. What I'd like to do is filter a copy of a users outgoing mail to the users Sent mailbox on the server. I.e. a constant Bcc. Unfortunately I can't rely on the user to do a Bcc manually just like I can't rely on them to backup their PC notwithstanding the from what PC is the mail being read. This seems to be the last missing link for "my" perfect mail setup which basically means to read the mail from wherever with whatever imap client without fear of loosing replies or wondering at the office: did I reply from home. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have. Is it perhaps possible to pipe the qmail msg-log to procmail or some equivilant? Heinz

There's a web CGI server for maildir mailboxes that's currently in sort of alpha-test mode. It's not an IMAP server, the only way you can use it would be via a browser. The only reason I'm mentioning is because it puts outgoing mail into the Sent folder automatically. You can find out more about it at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/sqwebmail/; I should mention that I'll have the next release out soon, so you may want to wait a couple of days. Also, be advised that it's still work in progress, so things like ease of installation and maintenance may not be there for everyone.
