Hi.
Has anyone tried to use offlineimap to synchronize more than two
mailboxes? I suppose it should just work, but if it does not, then
I'd possibly lose some email.
I was thinking of having one main server, A, and two sattelite

So, I was trying to figure out a way to get automatic versioning

I would like to:

Is this information stored in the installed system somewhere? (Other

my experience. I once decided to install gdm on a
