Hi gnurus!

Since I have a new job, I need to modify my gnus setup, and don't know how.  I have the following:

1) mail is coming from some server with limited storage space (in fact, not 
enough)

2) I have enough storage space on a machine I can ssh to, but where I do not have a reasonably recent emacs (No root rights.  Emacs version there is 21.)  However, this is in a local network (at a university), so ssh should not be too slow.

3) My email archive (which I depend on for every day work) has just about 2GB currently.

I would like to use my local emacs with gnus to read email, but have it stored on the other computer, so I can always access it, even if I'm not in my office.

Is there an effective solution known, or do I have to experiment?

Many thanks,

Martin
