Because many (still) use Windows e.a. and a bare Windows installation may not have java installed, I'd like to propose a satalite KMailer that can be synchronized when connected on the home computer.

For example, when not helping at somebody else's place/home, the computer I use is upstairs, and the computer downstairs is occasionally used by me. And it's Windows. But I'd still like to receive and send the occasional message, but then I have mails on two different places. A network (solution) is too much, even in the same house. This may be the most elegant solution.

With KMailSat (lite portable version), I won't have to wait to get home or to start the computer upstairs to send a message in reply to another message I've just noticed in Popman (Wineows email notifier).

KMailsat. I like the namen.

I am not still not clear what this would do or how it would work.

On my (main) Linux computer I use KMail, where all the sent and received emails are stored.

When I go to another computer (Windows 99% of the time), I'd like to use a portable mini KMail application from a USB drive, proposedly named KMailSat(ellite).

Every email that is received is stored with KMailSat, to be synced when connected to the home computer.

The problem was that KMail on my home computer has no records and no knowledge of any mails sent or received when I was somewhere else, or if I would keep a record I had to wait to reply on emails when I got back (to my Linux distro).

Hang on, this already exists right? Those mobile devices (phones e.a.) are able to sync in a very similar manner.

When using a portable usb drive, I use 'forward' if necessary (it generates extra internet traffic and is messy) or another portable email programme of which KMail can import the individual emails.
