dear Carlos,
Thanks a lot, but:
does that work if the offline mail archive consists of hundreds of ASCII text files,
as described below? Can I maintain such an archive on one machine, synching with the other,
using imap? (and if so how; is that described somewhere?) Sorry if this is a kind of stupid question...
Kind Regards
John
