Unfortunately we don't know of any. If you know of any good write-ups with suggestions for novice users on this subject please let us know. The key issue involved is configuring your mailer to leave its messages on the internet mail server after it has downloaded them. If you receive a message from your boss on your computer at work and you decide that you would really rather go home and reply to the message after dinner, you can't do that if your mailer at work deletes the message from the server after it checks the message. If you set your mailer at work to not delete the message from the server, when you get home and check your mail, the message will still be there waiting for you to reply to it. Using MailMan in conjunction with other mailers is no different. All that you need to do is configure all of your mailers to leave messages on the mail server by default, and perhaps select one mailer as your 'official' mailer that is allowed to delete your messages. Most quality mail clients have options to leave messages on the server but delete them after a set number of days have passed. This option is extremely helpful when using many different mail clients to access the same mailbox.
