LOCAL Folders

I use the IMAP protocol for my email structure. This way all my devices (desktop, notebook, cell, etc......) show the same information & in sync with each other. Because we have very limited (500mb) email storage on the server I am not able to keep all my folders and email history on the server. As a work around, on my desktop I have organized my emails in folders and store them in the "Local Folder". While I am in the office and on my desktop, everything seem to work well. Unfortunately, this becomes a problem when I travel or need to work remotely from my notebook. I have no access to the "Local Folder".

I realize one very easy fix to this is to acquire more storage space from our service provider. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for us at this time because of the exhorbitant fees from our service provider.

Do you have any recommendation on how I can "bring" the local folder with me when I work remotely from my notebook or from another computer at home?

Thanks in advance.

Well, 'low tech' solution might be to set up a free IMAP email account and store your local folders there. Then, the folders would always be current.
