Online mail readers

[Marius Van Deventer - Umzimkulu]

What I mean is, If evolution opens and reads the mail spool, it moves
the mail to the users Home mail directory and then displays it. Mutt
leaves the mail (read and unread) on the mail spool and does not copy or
move it.

Another analogy would be the difference between a pop server and an MS
Exchange server.

With a pop server, mail is copied or moved to the local folder and then
displayed.
With exchange, Only the server keeps the mail. The Client does not copy
or move the mail. Once the user is done the mail is still only on the
server unless the user deletes it (even the Deleted Items folder is on
the server), making it possible to use several mail clients to read one
mailbox without mail dissapearing.
