X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: jackbarnett@gmail.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:39:03 -0000 This is the setup I use: external accounts (pop, imap, etc) <->fetchmail -> procmail -> filter&archive -> imap local accounts -> procmail -> filter&archive -> imap Then my imap clients connect to the imap server. The imap server I use is courier-imap (has ssl which is nice) then use Thunderbird for the clients (runs multiply platforms) This setup works well, everything is auto-archived and also can get access to my mail from anyplace and it's the "same". It scales well too, fairly secure and have once place to back up all my emails.
