My web interface to my mail is via squirrelmail which uses imap to access my mail folders. I read my mail from a public library in another state while I was travelling this summer. That was a locked down system with only IE - nothing else.

Use imap. Your laptop will see every folder.

Let's say that redhat-list has 5,000 subscribers. I have no idea what the real number is, so I'm guessing. Now let's add 14 bytes per message, and 100 messages per day. That's an additional 7GB of traffic just for this. Add up the duplicated [redhat-list] [redhat-list] that will appear in the and you see the compounded problem. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
