I tell KMail to store messages locally as well (for performance reasons)
Not sure how it functions when the IMAP server is on the same host. Should 
perform decently as well.
A 1GB link isn't sufficient with the amount of email I have on the server. Not 
when also using that same link for a variety of other things.
Never mind the uplink of my ISP.

I actually got that nearly complete. Only missing the Animated Series on 
physical media. Am hoping that CBS will convert Voyager and DS9 to Bluray as 
well.
