Hi,
This is my first post but i'll try to be precise...

I am using Debian Linux 2.4 kernel and use 'mail' via command line.

I wish to implement a system by which every day when I finish work my UNREAD mail from that day is moved to a file (for security reasons I then wish to encrypt and sign this message with PGP but that is not a problem).

I then want it to send that mail to another mail account where I can collect it and view it at my leisure in the evenings.

As I say I do not want to process the mail as it arrives, only once daily.

Is this possible ? If so could someone point me in the right direction as to how I can work through my mailbox and distinguish between read and unread messages.

All mail is accessed through IMAP and I am willing to change from mail to mutt or pine if neccessary.

Thanks - Peace
Jonathan
