Run a local IMAPd server for extra Mail storage
Authored by: david-bo on Jun 13, '04 07:11:13PM

This is ridiculous (with one exception, if you receive 100MB+ of mail in every other day or so, this hint makes sense).

Why not just archive all mail stored on your ISP:s mailserver to your local HD once a month or so, i.e., leave mail on server for, for example, 30 days?

Because you only have to file things once -- you can file everything directly to the mail archive instead of having to coordinate folders every 30 days; because you can have access to all of your mail, not just the last 30 days' worth (at most; 0 days at least) from wherever you are; because, once it's up and running, it's easy.

If you want to archive locally as well, you can just go to the Advanced panel and select "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing: all messages and their attachments." Voila.
