Hi I wanted to get a feeling for this before plunging in a wild chase. I am moving myself from Windows into Linux. I have a system setup with Outlook 2000 and another lab system setup with Linux and Evolution. I really liked evolution. I want to work out with both e-mail programs, but keep the same database of e-mails. I do not mind spliting the contacts and Agenda stuff, but I want to keep my sequence of e-mails. I thought of setting up a mail server and have the e-mail server pickup my e-mail from my ISP and have evolution and outlook look at the e-mail at my mailserver (leave message on server option activated). In theory I should be able to look at the e-mail from either Outlook or Evo while keeping the e-mail messages together in one place. Am I missing something here, regarding the functionality of the mailservers in general? Is there any easy to setup and administer mailserver program? I only need it to deal with one user, me. I apreciate your comments. Thanks!
