Speaking of MH-based systems, has anyone heard of an MH-compatible
back end that can talk to an IMAP server? I currently use exmh on top
of nmh, which sucks the mail to my local hard drive, but this doesn't
work so well for remote access. When I'm on the road with my laptop,
it uses too much bandwidth to ssh through my cable modem and then
run exmh remotely, and the command-line nmh interface is a real pain
in comparison to exmh.

I figure it would be tolerable if I ran an imapd on my workstation and
configured exmh to access my mailbox there via localhost. Then I could
set up a simple ssh tunnel to connect from a laptop. But I don't see
any imapd option for nmh.
