access mail spool on another server?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I've started "administering" a server that several other people use.
Mostly I just install things and keep the system up to date. I'm
thinking it would be a good idea to check the mail spool regularly, but
I rarely remember.

Is there a simple way to make nnspool access a remote server, I assume
over an ssh connection? Has anyone else done that? I suppose if it's not
easy, I can find a way to forward the remote mail to my personal email
address...

Thanks!
Eric

BitTorrent Sync or something like it? Or just install dovecot and use IMAP?

Interesting, I hadn't thought of installing dovecot on the server. I'll
look into that!

Thanks,
