Well, I'd like to be able to maintain the mail on my Linux box and
be able to read it from here as well as from an older Mac that I have
at home (via ppp). Right now I use fetchmail to bring mail from my
school's server to /var/spool/mail/riley, and then procmail puts it
into the various folders in my home directory. I'd just like to have
it available to another client, if possible.
