Ahh .. thanks ... makes sense ... :-) Especially if you make your imap server visible on the internet - then you can still get your mail anywhere. I also never use any 'mail client local storage' for anything - if I need any I my own imap server - i want to be client indifferent as well - esp from thunderbird which uses mbox format. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
