[P1] new iBook

[Angus Wallace]

I read mail on a couple of computers (Panther and Linux), and don't 
like web-based mail. I tell Evolution (mail reader for Linux) to leave 
the messages on the server, and tell Mail (Panther) to delete them 
after 1 week. Then, as long as I check mail in Linux weekly, I have 
received messages on both computers.

Of course, sent messages are only stored on the computer that sent 
them... so it isn't true syncing.

Cheers,
-Angus
