Hi.

I'm considering the use of Neomail as a mail client for situations where my 
clients aren't at home or are on vacation or something and want to check 
their email. My server is running Linux Redhat and Sendmail (POP3) and 
Neomail will be setup in this server as well. I think Neomail does the 
trick but is actually more than I need. I want to be able to list the 
messages in my account, delete one or more, read the ones I'm interested 
in, see/download the attachments, reply to messages or send new ones and be 
able to send attachments as well. Nothing out of the ordinary. Neomail 
seems to do all of this. However, Neomail allows the user to create and 
maintain folders which means that Neomail pulls the content of the pop 
server into these folders. I don't want my clients to be able to do this. 
Each account should always have its content in the pop server. The messages 
would only be removed if the client orders them to be deleted (by using 
Neomail's features). The idea is to allow them to check emails, reply 
urgent matters etc but keeping the account's content in the pop server. I 
don't want Neomail to pull the entire content of the accounts like all 
normal mail clients.I don't want Neomail to replace my clients Outlook's 
and Eudora's at home, I just want an emergency alternative for special 
situations where they can't use their own mail client.

Does anybody know if it is possible to set up Neomail like that  without 
having to alter Neomail's code ?
Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Carlos.
