It clears out few questions out of many I have. My quest is to have all my mails (from different imap/pop sources) stored locally on my lab computer(which is up & connected Internet 24hours) and sync(possibly with git vc) them to my laptop. First I will tryout your convenient configuration. Thanks -- Yagnesh
