okay, I am archiving email from IMAP using Thunderbird.
It is downloading messages. Do I drag the messages to local folders to make sure they are archived or does the IMAP folder structure after download do that for me?

Imap does preserve folder structure. But with every email server I used Imap does not work well for archiving. Delete an email on the server side and it deletes in Imap as well. Delete a folder on the server side and the whole folder deletes on the client side as well. Of course I've used Imap in only two cases - gmail and my university email,so maybe there are client or server settings where this won't happen, But I think you pop is better for backup or archiving, and pop unfortunately does not preserve folder structures.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My AdBlock turned into CatBlock, and it seriously took me ten minutes to figure out.

Anyone have a rec for a free web page generator. I suddely have to put up a simple web page with no notice. I have host, and I find myself wondering if there is a free tool that is decent and gives reasonable control.

Al I need is one static page. Maybe I should just hand code.
