Ross,

Perfect sense, thank you.  This is more or less what I am aiming at,
except that I would like contacts, calendar and tasks to be
synchronised too, and I'm not sure that that is possible with IMAP.

Still sounds good, thanks.  Now to find some way of converting from
mbox to maildir!

Much appreciated.
