My understanding of cachedimap (which may well be wrong) is that the mail is 
stored in two places - on the server and on the client and they are synced 
when the client is connected to the server. We were thinking of something 
along the lines of a compressed linux image on a flash rom on the terminal 
and the user keeping their basic configuration data on a flash pen so it 
wouldn't matter which particular thin terminal they were logged on to rather 
than having, say, an NFS share for the configuration data. Under this 
scenario there wouldn't really be a client side to store the mail data.

As I said, at the moment it's just an idea - I'm just trying to figure out if 
it is possible or not.

Thanks
