Well ... this will require some changes in local delivery (I'm using postfix and procmail). At all places (work,notebook) I will have to use IMAP for accessing folders (not sure but I think that pine can't access anything else thant unix mbox). That is lots of work, but less than writing such tool myself. Big question is how maildir store email status? If it is stored in separate file it should work, but if it is in same file as header and body ... still lots of questions :) > > Another problems is mailbox locking ...

This mailing list is stored in mail/konference/d-user-2001 when I will download this flat file over rsync to my notebook and new email arives rsync will proably fail or go to infinite loop ... that was my point. > -- > Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://bignachos.com Thanks - -------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Tomasek aka Semik work: CESNET, z.s.p.o. http://www.tomasek.cz/ Zikova 4, 160 00 Praha 6 Czech Republic http://www.cesnet.cz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: pgpenvelope 2.10.2 - http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/ iD8DBQE8AK3p79++DGvj6tMRAsvdAKCDlvTCe22tekIWYHWaaBrtJ/GeqQCgiNbh oVYHaW+GDH/qtuNWrO2+yic= =fWnN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
