Congrats on that. About the same time ago, after setting up my sendmail
server, I looked at IMAP as a way of accumulating an historical record
of all emails and decided it was far too complicated.

I decide it was just easier to feed them all into another htdig server
(#1 was making LUG searchable on the web) and access them
through a private WWW, sigh then htdig went unsupported. So I stuck to
using filters in the various mailers over the years.

The 24x7 servers were not a problem with hardware sourced from "Reuse
for Linux" programs. It was the dial-up line internet link that
occasionally had problems with overloading..
