I seem to be missing something on how to set things up so I can peruse
my email, and control various folders, from either my desktop or my

happy to make my desktop my mail server, since the FreeBSD server is
getting a bit old and I'd like to upgrade it anyway so it's not a
problem for me to just move the mail service to my desktop if that makes
things easier. I don't care so much if my existing email folders are not
accessible by my laptop I just want to start making new messages
available to both from here forward.
Any pointers to how I get imap setup so I can access my folders from
two, or more, different machines ?
If you want to replace the FreeBSD box with a 'server appliance' that will work as an internet gateway, web/ftp/samba/email server (and probably a few other things but not desktop apps), look at SME server from http://www.contribs.org. It will come up with a working pop/imap and webmail server that you can use from your laptop or other client boxes. You can set up the same programs on other distros, but none are as easy to install or maintain. As for your existing mail, if you can download via POP to a mail client program that understands both POP and IMAP, you will subsequently be able to drag anything you want to keep back into IMAP folders on the new server.
