It works well to use Gnus as an IMAP client in disconnected mode (that's IMAP-talk for offline). The only problem is that you can't move messages from one group to another while offline. I haven't tested whether it works to access your IMAP server from two hosts at the same time, but I'm pretty sure it will work. There are also web-based IMAP interfaces, so a random computer in an internet cafe with some kind of browser will be good enough. I think it's better to use Oort Gnus for this, though. -- A turnip curses Elvis
