[Evolution] Cascading Evolutions

[Bradley Alexander <storm tux org>]

Hey,

Got a sort of involved newbie question. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Mutt
user who recently started using Evolution. Thus far, I have been very
happy with Evolution's performance.

I'd like to take it to the next level. I have an internal mailserver
that is either receiving mail via smtp or for one account popping to an
external server. So the mail resides on the internal server, where my
workstation pops the mail into Evolution, where it is then racked,
packed and stacked into folders for my viewing pleasure.

Now the complex part. I would like to, nondestructively, use Evolution
on my laptop to read mails coming into either a) my workstation or b)
the mailserver when the workstation is down or otherwise unavailable.

In theory, I would like to be able to subscribe to the folders on
defiant (the workstation), as well as set up a similar virtual folder
layout on the laptop...I have tried subscribing to folders on defiant
from the laptop, but nothing changes on Evolution.

Whats the best way to go about this?

Also, my company is issuing certificates for signing emails. I got an
email from a coworker, and the little "this message is digitally signed"
padlock, but when I check the signature on the message, it gives me
"Evolution does not recognize this type of signed message." Is this a
future functionality for Evolution?

Notes:
mailserver (vorcha)   - SPARC 20/Debian woody (testing)
workstation (defiant) - Athlon 1GHz/Debian sid (unstable)
laptops (orinoko)     - Tecra 8000/Debian sid (unstable)

defiant and orinoko are both running the debs of Evolution.
