Very interesting! Please send your configfile and the Python program!!
This opens a wide horizon using the same mailclient for direct downloading
from other mailboxes when connected to the Internet, as we sometimes are
even when out sailing;-) and when not, using PSKmailserver via the rig for
PSKmail!!

This in my setup for using Thunderbird or Evolution. I suppose any other
mail client can do this.
For mail reception all I have done is define a new account of "spool"
type with my mail account used in PSKMail and file inpit from
~/.pskmail/Inbox. With no automatic check all mail received with PSKMail are
also in my mail client with a manual check
For mail sending I have defined a SMTP server on my localhost with Postfix
(default SMTP for Ubuntu). In Postfix configuration I have defined a service
"pskmail" as default for mail sent with my mail address in "From" field.
This service call an external program written in Python. This program get
mail from Posfix, convert it to PSKMail format and write it to
~/.pskmail/Outbox.
So, I can write offline all my emails with mail client (using conctact list,
template, etc), send it to Outbox and, when connected to PSKMail, I send it
to PSKMail server.
No need to exit from client, to start Fldigi for mail composing, etc.
If you like I can send my config files and my little Python prog.
