He needs to chime back in here so we don't argue pointless causes ( =) ),
but I think the problem he has is that he either has no rights, or no
platform, to install Evo locally.

And even if he does, his configuration may be such that all of his mail is
kept in local mail folders on the remote machine, not in IMAP folders on a
server.

But we should let him tell us why he's running remotely, cause both our
worldviews may be so horribly skewed as to be useless :)
