Right, I meant more along the lines of imap-server on the laptop being 
hit by thunderbird locally on the laptop, and you doing things like 
moving emails around between folders, deleting them etc. And then the 
imap-server on laptop needing to sync those changes upstream to 
imap-server on the net.
