Greetings all! |
5 |
|
6 |
I have several IMAP mail accounts that I want to be able to |
7 |
synchronize locally (on several machines - two-way sync would be a |
8 |
bonus but not necessarily required) and access the local mail store |
9 |
with my mail client. At present I use Thunderbird, and I am rather |
10 |
fond of it's interface (despite some of the issues I've had with it |
11 |
(half of which I think were related to the concurrent IMAP connections)). |
12 |
|
13 |
I've been digging around (a lot) and figure the solution would involve |
14 |
Procmail and Fetchmail/OfflineIMAP. I have a semi-working setup, |
15 |
whereby mail delivered through sendmail locally is delivered to the |
16 |
correct location by procmail. |
17 |
|
18 |
My problem is Thunderbird. I know that Thunderbird by default uses |
19 |
mbox, and have configured new mail stores to be created with maildir; |
20 |
but it seems Thunderbird doesn't read maildir's /new directory, and |
21 |
messages delivered into /cur don't get read until the mailbox is |
22 |
rebuilt (presumably because of the .msf index). Rebuilding the |
23 |
mailbox also messes up the message status. |
24 |
|
25 |
My question is: does anyone know how I can configure either Procmail |
26 |
to deliver messages in a format Thunderbird will understand; or how I |
27 |
can configure Thunderbird to be a little bit more maildir compliant? |
28 |
|
29 |
Failing that, what mail clients others would suggest (preferably GUI - |
30 |
I have mutt installed, but hiding my mail in a console would end up |
31 |
with a lot of messages going unnoticed)? |
32 |
|
33 |
Cheers; |
