Wifely-type problem

[derek.winkler at algorithmics.com]

I did this at home for awhile works fine, but became too much to manage.
Upgrading MS/SA/Clam at home after doing it at work all day, no thanks.

Now I use gmail accounts and fetchmail/Clam Milter on home email server,
as effective but less maintenance.

The advantage of using gmail instead of the DSL account is your email
address is no longer tied to your provider.

If she's just going to be monitoring all of the mail with MW, why not
just not bother and have her do it in her mail client?

Also, why not leave the mail on the server and back up the mail boxes as
well?
