[plug] Recommended local mail access method

[Marc]

I ended up copied to the imap server my whole email directory and that
seemed to have worked.  I run squirrelmail as my webmail and dovecot as my
imap server so I just wanted access from home or wherever without having to
access my laptop hence the webmail thingo.

Anyways I have knode working as my news reader because that was one of my
other problems.

I found it quite interesting that my only /major/ problem was getting my
inbox to work on squirrelmail.  I therefore created a folder under
thunderbird called inbox and transferred all 111 megs of emails to my
subfolder then transferred that folder across to the webmail folder.  I
originally had issues with mbox however it seems that squirrelmail creates
a mail directory and under that directory you can created further
directories which you can just import as folders.

However one question I did have is the .msf files and what they are since I
haven't deleted them but I can't view them with squirrelmail?

Anyways all is well and the news reader knode is working well.

Gotta love all the options you have with linux.

HTH someone
