I dont know about your ISP or where ever you are getting your mail.. but what I do, I use Mozilla on Linux and Winders.
I also use IMAP instead of POP to get mail. IMAP == the mail stays on the server. Some ISPs may not offer IMAP. If not... make an IMAP server for yourself, and fetchmail to bring the mail to it. Then set your email clients to talk to it.


I dont know of a good way to share message stores between local installations like you are talking about.

Hi - this seems a fairly newbie friendly place and I got a lot

someone will have an answer to this one....

I really, really want to me rid of MS......but there are a few
things that I need to dual-boot for, for a while. I *know* that
the Gimp is supposed to be as good as many Windows graphics
packages but I know the Windows ones inside out and use my PC
to make money. Ditto for Dreamweaver.

Because of these two apps (mainly) I find that I spend most of
the day in Windows and then the evening in Linux (mostly email,
usenet, etc). However I am getting fed up of trying to organise
email in a dual-boot system. Receiving email into either is
easy enough (just leave on the server in Linux, delete from
server in Win) but if I then reply to something when in one OS,
my reply won't appear in the second, etc.

Is there a (decent) email client that works with a shared mail
dir, on a fat32 drive, and has a Windows and a Linux client. It
needs:

to be easy to set up/install (complete newbie!)
multiple account facilities (both pop and smtp)
decent filtering, rules and folders setup

Basically I'm after The Bat! or maybe Eudora, that will work
for both OS's......
