![]() Usually, an ISP will limit only your in-box size, and users can save their messages in mailboxes located elsewhere on the server. The article implies that you have to store the in-box and your mail folders in a single location. Second, you can configure IMAP to store only your in-box on the IMAP server this leaves you free to store your saved messages on your local Mac. Choosing this option makes everything (even the attachments) available for viewing even when you’re not connected to a network. I recall that Eudora had something similar and I’m sure the other clients do, too. In the case of Apple’s Mail, you set this option via the pull-down menu under the Advanced tab in the Accounts preference pane.
