It sounds like you want to setup the same thing that I have. I am a dialup user who wishes to read mail by several different methods: - Pine on a dumb terminal (on the dinner table!). - Netscape 4.08 on the X server (in the computer room). - Remotely from other sites. What I have done is: - Get mail with the 'popclient' port - pipe the above to procmail which creates my folder structure - serve up the folders with an IMAP server (the 'imap-uw-4.4' port) - Read the mail with Pine, Netscape 4.08, whatever This is quite quick as IMAP only sends the subject lines when you open a folder..... much like news. I find this works very well except Netscape Communicator 4.08 is the only Netscape that seems to work with 'imap-uw'. Netscape 4.5 never connects and neither did 4.07.
