You know, the way romaing profiles works by downloading EVERYTHING for
the client, IMAP as a client side solutions using Linux side Maildirs
(not as corruptable as OE idx, mbx files) with the option of saving
copies to the local machine might be a better solution.

Then, move the mail clients to a nicer client. OE is terrible to IMAP
servers and doesn't automatically expunge mail either.
