Thanks, that sounds good (or reasonable). Since I'm e-mailing from clients
off the server and using a combination of OE (I know, I know, ...) and
Evolution - I'll just make multiple identities.

From OE I have 2 IMAP accounts on my tiny server. One for regular stuff, one
for mailing lists. I have OE set to synchronize send/receive with my server.
I also have an account with my ISP. I am using fetchmail to pull the stuff
down to my server and view it with OE with an IMAP client. I guess I could
just use POP in OE to get it directly - but then when I switch laptops, or
boot into RH9.0, or jump onto my SuSE desktop - I'll lose that e-mail (I pop
then delete).

So for that situation I fetchmail it to the server and use IMAP clients to
view it on whatever PC I'm on. If I read/delete - it's gone. If I read and
don't delete - my understanding is that it stays in my folder on the
server - so I can then reread it when I jump onto a different machine. (hope
I got that right - time to test!).

Finally, I have an account at my ISP set up in OE. Under Account /
Properties I left it unclicked on "Include theis account when
sending/receving or synching". So fetchmail will still grab mail from that
server. BUT - when composing a message, I can click on "From:" and use my
ISP account.

Hoping it works. Kinda cludgy, though.
