Unless I'm really missing the boat here, any manipulations done with mutt in that way would be executed on that machine. If I saved a file it would be saved to the wrong machine. If I deleted mail it would be missing from the parent not the laptop. If I split the mail in a different way, etc etc. You snipped the part that explained why, or at least inferred it. >> Then both machines will have full access to the mail without scewing >> up the others spool. What I'm after here is to manipulate the incoming mail spool in anyway I want without changing the parent machines own spool. The results of any actions taken to be executed on the laptop.
