But I will try. Is it possible to set up some mechanism (in freebsd or maybe gentoo (doesn't matter to me)) to pop/imap into my mail location and download everything as storage and then I imap to my local machine to read my mail. I realize I can pop/imap directly into my mail, the goal of this exorcise is to store my mail on one of my local servers and not my windows machine which can change at a moment's notice. (I just don't like the idea of permanent/long-term storage in Windows :/ ) C-
