Still have a 'server' at home to pool mail from local hosts and get it out to a 'real' mail server, but now all of the heavy lifting is done at/by bluehost.com. The ONLY things I really miss are nightly tarballs of my mailboxes, pine (don't judge), and some more coplex filtering/scripting I CAN do with bluehost, but not as easily. > If so, which ones?

I have everyone at work set up for IMAP w/ bluehost now (mostly using Thunderbird/IceDove or in rare cases, SquirrelMail web client on the client end). > How many people use gmail for their email? > I have a couple gmail accounts so I can use other google features, but it is by no means my main mail provider.
