What problem is your user > encountering with this method? When only the Microsoft User Data folder is copied we find 2 problems. 1. We tend to leave email on the server for 2 weeks. In entourage 2004 when we physically move the database all that mail on the server is re-downloaded on the second machine so you end up with multiple copies of email. The solution for this is to not leave mail on the server, but this is not practical as we all often need to check our mail from remote 3rd party terminals using http://www.mail2web.com or some other online site that grab POP mail from all our various accounts. 2. Often when just the User Data folder is copied we get the "rebuild database" error, but we have found that if we do the following we can avoid the problem: a) shut down entourage (and all other MS apps) b) kill the database daemon using the terminal c) copy the MUD d) copy the various MS prefs This has so far completely avoided the database error problem. raul p.s. re IMAP it's impractical for us. We have multiple POP accounts that receive huge image attachments that need to be stored locally. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
