Home-mail-machine poll mails via pop from ispmail using fetchmail. Stores them into /var/spool/mail/username 2. my machine fetchmails emails from Home-mail-machine into local spool folder of mymachine. 3. Evolution pops the mails from /var/spool/mail and put them into ~/evolution/local/Inbox/ 4. Evolution MUA filters and puts them into appropriate subfolders. How I would like it to be Option 1 or option 2 option 1: 1. Home-mail-machine polls mails via pop from ispmail using fetchmail passes them through procmail for spam/virus/sorting etc into the specific maildir format boxes. 2. MyMachine connects to the home-mail-machine using evolution via IMAP protocol (since I assume that you can't use fetchmail to POP them into evolution so that it's stored into ~/evolution/local/Inbox/or can it?? default pop directory is /var/spool/username right?) Option 2. 1. Home-mail-machine polls mails via pop from ispmail using fetchmail, passes them through procmail for spam/virus/(no sorting) into /var/spool/mail 2. My machine polls mails from home-mail-machine, via POP3 protocal (fetchmail), passes them through procmail for spam/virus(again) and sorts them into specifed folder in maildir format 3. Evolution connects to my-machine via IMAP protocol to access the emails which resides in the /var/spool/maildir (I have no idea where maildir stores the emails). 4. (optional step) I move the mails from the maildir path and puts it into ~/evolution/local/Inbox/... So... in as few words as possible, that's what I like. In addition to that, I still have not read a good way to archive maildir format emails.
