Oh, you don't have to sell me on IMAP.  ;-P  I've just been "lazy"
on moving to it.  I'm going to "switch over" to it when I put my new
public server in.

BTW, I was debating whether or not I should use IMAP-SSL, or IMAP
tunneled over SSH.  I think I'm going to go with the latter for now,
I can always switch to the former later.

Better yet!  You don't have to duplicate your filtering rules on
each client, you just change it at the server via "procmail" (or
whatever your MUA uses).

[ This "geezer" BS just re-created his ~100 Netscape filters in
Evolution.  ;-P ]

With that said, is there a good GUI procmail editing program?  I
always seem to screw up when I do it manually.

Right.  I've done that before too, but am wary of the key exchange
(at least versus SSH).

So what's your favorite server-side, web interface for E-mail?
