I have a similar setup. What I do is set the Evolution client on my laptop to "Leave Mail on Server" whenever it checks. Then when I get home and use my desktop system, the messages are still waiting at the POP server. I see duplicates, but that's OK. Before I go anywhere with the laptop, I just either scp or rsync the local/ sub-folder from desktop to laptop to pick up any changes since the last time I used the laptop. The only drawback is that mail I send from the laptop gets destroyed. I suppose I could work some sort of back-sync, but I'm really not that worried about it (I like to CC: myself on anything important anyway). On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 10:35, Redeeman wrote:

Guenther pointed me towards multisync (http://multisync.sourceforge.net/) This will not work properly (compilation/installation issues) for me, and the response from the multisync community has been a deafening silence. I have decided to drop multisync, and in casting about have run across references to imap. I am a total bewbie as far imap is concerned. If someone could answer my basic questions, or point me towards a document that will cover these questions, I would be grateful. I am thinking that my 'base' system will be my desktop, and that will run an imap server which I can use when the laptop is connected to my lan to synchronise my email folders. Is this feasible, will this allow the synchronisation of contacts and calendar information for instance? Thanks, I would like to get as much info as possible before plunging into the murky depths.
