TBH I long ago gave up trying to juggle multiple machines and syncing
mail. I just use IMAP and let somebody else worry about it. In fact I'd
do that even if I was the somebody else, as I once used to be. People
say there are reasons for using POP, and perhaps there are for some
people, but frankly I've never been convinced by any of them.
Thanks, Patrick! True, but I want my e-mail stored and acted upon locally. In that case, I do not completely see a way out of my situation, though there are likely alternative approaches to the same problem.
I run my own mail server, so all the emails are in my house which is
local enough. I access my email from many devices, so this keeps them
all in sync. dovecot does some initial email sorting for me and all the
devices download the emails so they're available offline if necessary.
Thanks :-) But my employer provides my e-mail that I need to use for professional reasons, otherwise I would likely be making different/simpler choices.
Ok, but my other point was that mail clients like Thunderbird can be
configured to download all the emails, so they are available locally and
offline. Then you have the benefits of your POP/fetchmail config
without the risky syncing methods. I just realized though that I forgot
you were using mutt which doesn't have that capability. However,
there's an application called offlineimap which might work for you.
