Sending all the email to myself eh? Maybe doable, but I really do need
to clean out my inbox/folders heh. I haven't even tackled the problem of
using my Jornada 680 with my mac as I need to pick up a serial adapter
for it.
Well, I will look into your suggestions. Hopefully I can trim back some
of the 1800 or so messages I have in there.
