In my case it's orthogonal. Delivery goes into an IMAP server at work which I can get to from three different places when I am at work: a w2k laptop, a relatively standalone linux box, or any number of UNIX (Sun, Linux, SGI) machines which access my home directory via AFS. I can also get to it via VPN or ssh from my home system but I choose not to do that. I use unison to keep all three work systems in sync. In the worst case, I read mail on one system and then on another without sync'ing. In that case, I lose out on updates to score files and .newsrc.eld which is mostly minor annoyance. I do not keep the cache/agent in sync on them. Since I only really use the agent on my laptop it's not worth copying it over to the others. I'm not sure what you mean by off line delivery. When I'm off line, the mail gets delivered as it always does but I can't see it until I'm back on line. But I know that you know that so there must be something else to the term.
