Same here, except I use the M: drive (for Mail ). Depending on how
your network is set up you may not need to bother about implementing
roaming profiles.

I'm doing exactly that. All my users have drive P: mapped to personal
network filespace and all installations of TB have P:\Mail as their
default message base. All users can access their mail from any
computer that has TB installed.

However, you do need a fast network and roaming profiles. While this
strategy works wonderfully over 100-base-TX, it was painfully slow
(i.e. unworkable) over 10-base-T.

That's what I set up for my father: the mail folders are on my
gateway/server (runing linux with samba - not really relevant), and I mapped
a network drive on both computers where my father wants to use the mail.
Then I set up The Bat on one computer to have it's base folders on the
network drive, and exported it's settings from the registry
(Start->Run->regedit.exe; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rit branch), and
imported these settings on the second computer, and I simply copied The
Bat's install folder there. Also, with the XP (not sure if it's available on
2000) feature 'Make available offline', he can use The Bat on laptop even
when not connected to the home network.

Accessing mail from two computers

2003-03-07 Thread Ian Grant
Hi TBUDL

Is it possible to put your E-mail folders on a separate network share
and access them from two separate computers. So for example when I'm
working on my notebook, i can have access to the e-mail i have here on my
desktop, and i can use it as if i was using this copy here.

I looked at synchronizing but that seemed a bit too fiddly.



Regards

Ian
