I've actually found IMAP to work quite nicely for me. I used to ssh
to my other box downstairs to read mail. I suppose there are a couple
of drawbacks, the main one being that, even over a 100mbit link,
downloading the headers for a large folder (>1000 mails) can take a
nontrivial amount of time. Also, I still haven't found a really clean
way to keep my configuration files in sync. :^)
