Some years ago I set up a local IMAP server: getmail fetching from the 
external POP accounts, courier imap serving the local network.for me and 
my wife, We were in the transition years from Windows to Linux. I chose 
TB for our clients.

"Local Folders" caused some confusion initially, before we learned that 
nothing is ever stored there: nothing received, nothing sent, nothing 
drafted, It is a meaningless line on the left bottom and a case of 
missing beauty by being there.
