All, I'm trying to get an email system working that will allow colleagues within the same office, working on a buddy system, to be able to check a colleague's email while they are off sick or on holiday. I have managed to work out a way to share mail that has been read and processed, by saving it to a set of symlinked folders, and similarly, to catch outgoing mail by saving it to the same shared folders, but I'm a bit stuck on incoming mail. Mail picked up by Evolution but not yet dealt with will be in their Evolution Inbox, and again, I can symlink that into a folder within their buddy's Inbox. However, if a user isn't or hasn't logged in, their incoming mail will continue to sit on the IMAP server and not get transfered to their Evolution Inbox. How can I allow the buddy to get that mail transfered to the real user's Evolution Inbox so that it can be seen through the symlink mechanism ? Or is there a better way of servicing this business requirement ? Jonathan
