Re^2: Battling mail timing issues

exim+dovecot is a fine solution [...]

I'm sure that it is - but it's not available to me, since I don't run that system and the administrator has already said that he doesn't want to install a mail retrieval method beyond what's currently available.

'ssh -X' forwarding isn't necessary either, since I don't use GUI mail clients; in fact, SSH forwarding is not a solution at all, since it doesn't address my problem (synchronizing files, etc., rather than accessing a service.)

Thank you for your suggestions, in any case.

... he doesn't want to install a mail retrieval method beyond what's currently available. But what is available ? Is there nothing than direct file access through shell utilities to the Inbox ? If so, ok, I haven't said nothing :). But otherwise ssh -L should solve your problem with ease and confort. Krambambuli --- occasionally enjoying Mark Jason Dominus's Higher-Order Perl	[reply]
