  Yes, but then you don't get all the spiffiness of IMAP.  I work remotely
from indiana and commute to seattle once every 5 weeks or so.  My setup
here, since we use POP exclusively right now, is using my laptop as an NFS
server for my mail directories, and just have symlinks from my various
machines.  But that entails hauling my laptop with me, which I'd rather not 
have to do (it's a halfway decent 586/100, but I'd prefer to let my son use 
it).

  So, native IMAP support would kick ass.  Just another whiner who doesn't
know enough about IMAP or have any free time anymore to hack on it even if
I did. :(
