And what are some pros and cons switching to IMAP?
And what program do you use on Fedora for your email?
I use fetchmail to download mail from every other mail server onto my home machine, where fetchmail then injects the mail into the dovecot imap server. With dovecot sieve support, I filter the mail into appropriate IMAP folders (or simply discard it). Then I can use any email client to talk to my local IMAP server without having to convert or transfer mail anywhere.
The client I like best is claws-mail which allows be to disable html mail so I can example any plain text before deciding to actually read it (by opening in chrome).
That sounds very confusing lol.
I think if I was to use IMAP, I would redirect my email from my Web host's mailbox which only offers you 25 gigs of storage, to my FREE gmail account, since I am one of those that keeps EVERYTHING. At least GMAIL offers upgrades in storage space, where my web host doesn't.
