Pardon my lack of imap understanding; if I have an imap server and I 
have a seperate physical machine as a workstation can I:
	1. Use a GUI on the workstation
--and--
	2. a mutt-ish type client if I ssh in remotely to the imap server?

Lemme see if I can give a clear explination. "sam" is the potential imap 
server. Client "fred" is the workstation. Normally I'd log into fred and 
use a GUI for my mail. However, sometimes I'm out and about and would 
like to remotely ssh into sam and quickly catch up on things.

If sam is the imap server can I import old mail into it, and access it 
both locally and remotely?

Thanks!
