Managing Mail Between a Desktop and a Laptop?
dotancohen asks: "I'll soon be getting a new Dell laptop that'll be running Fedora Core 5 or 6. I need to access the email stored on my home box from the laptop, and also to read new email sent to me while I'm not home (and the home box is shut down). If I run an IMAP server at home, then I can't read the mail when the home box is down. However, if I pull from the POP3 server (and leave the mail on the server) then I won't be able to sort and file the mail while on the go. I currently use Kmail, but I might switch to Eudora in April/March when it becomes available for Linux. Is there anyway to sync the mail accounts between two Linux boxen, assuming that I'm using the same mail client?"
Yup. Use IMAP, that's exactly what it's for.
Jeez, this is the dumbest "Ask Slashdot" in ages. What next?
"I need a way to send someone a message instantly, rather than having it go into their e-mail inbox, is there some tool that will do it?"
"I need to compare two source code files, is there a program that will highlight the differences?"
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
