- Yes. Probably the only way of doing it without getting a second
- account (and hostname) for your other machine.

- And if any mail arrived for the other user in the meantime you would
- download that as well, and be back at square one.

- One account, one hostname actually. You are free to have as many
- usernames (and hence mailboxes) as you like, but only on the one
- host. Since the SMTP server detects your hostname when you log on,
- you will get all the mail waiting for any users at your site.
