Of course, to place gentoo in a separate IMAP-folder, you must actually |
| 13 |
/have/ an IMAP folder, which implies having an IMAP account, not, say, |
| 14 |
POP3, which seems to be what gets offered 'round here.[1] |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Tho of course it's possible to sort local mail, as from POP3, into |
| 17 |
folders/directories too, as I do for various commercial lists and mailed |
| 18 |
notifications from wordpress, etc, tho not for community mailing lists |
| 19 |
like the gentoo lists. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
For community lists I normally use gmane's list2news service, getting the |
| 22 |
lists as newsgroups, which I process using my favorite news client (pan, |
| 23 |
FWIW). |

[1] Yes, it is of course possible to run your own mail server locally, |
| 27 |
and serve IMAP, while pulling in mail from various accounts, but then |
| 28 |
that's simply doing the same division into local folders to serve over |
| 29 |
IMAP, that you can do with a mail client pulling in the mail and sorting |
| 30 |
it into similar local folders without the additional IMAP complexity, so |
| 31 |
no need for IMAP in the loop, at least if you have only one primary |
| 32 |
machine, as I do. |
