Maybe it sounds silly, but check whether you've got an address book entry of a certain Victor with Allie's address. It looks like you've got the addresses of listmembers in your Address Book. Until I decided that such an AB group didn't have any real use, I ran a filter that put all senders on this list in an address book group, caused more problems than that it did good. For instance listmembers forwarding or redirecting messages and so causing duplicate (and false) address book entries. Now I'm old and wise and know how I could enhance such a filter, but also that also that I don't need it anymore. ;-) -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Sharing the same files would make them accessable from the desktop, but it is not a backup. I think the point was to backup. My backups are exactly what Allie describes in his mail in this same thread, except that I backup everything: the reg-key will be exported in the "\The Bat!" directly and the whole directory will be zipped and stored on another drive. This way, I have all my settings, and the current version of TB, in the backup. Time it takes is no longer than TB's backup function. My suggestion to Michael: Do the above, transfer the zipped directory, unzip it on the desktop into the "\the Bat!" directory (this will override the version you have there), import the reg key (there are some settings in there). Or, as I do, just store the zip file. I unzip it only if I need access to the backup (i.e. when I have played around and messed up things). -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat!

Well, since you have the account and account folder tree mirrored on the desktop, it's just a matter of copying the 'Mail directory' from the laptop to the desktop, overwriting all that needs to be overwritten on the desktop. All your mail for your accounts, quick templates and filters are stored in the 'Mail directory' in your installation folder, unless you moved the folder somewhere else.

I had a laptop/desktop installation, but my situation is slightly more complex, as I send and receive email from both computers (although not at the same time) with different account settings and I have problems keeping the two in synch. In your situation, however, I would suggest that using the TB! backup or synchronize functions is not the best way to achieve what you want - I would use an independent backup program for this, and copy the whole of your TB folder to the desktop. > The backup/restore process works fine. It brings over all the new > messages; however, it also keeps all previous messages, many of which > have been deleted from my laptop--or moved from one mailbox to another. Yes, this is a problem. Synchronize does not appear to copy filters, so I find that unless I manually copy across all my filters and folder structure, I end up with messages in different folders on different machines, and lots of dups. I also use different account settings on both machines, so I cannot simply copy across the complete laptop installation. > Before writing this, I went to the list archive and found Allie > Martin's great explanation from January 2002 which seems to deal with > the same problem I'm having.

Yes, Miguel A. Urech recommended Second Copy 2000 (http://www.centered.com) to me and I've been using it happily since.

Re: Problem mirroring my mailboxes on a second computer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Michael, MSG> I need to have a mirror copy of my mailboxes on a backup computer. The only solution I currently have to help you mirror an inbox is to share your accounts directory with the desktop. I mean file, folder and printer sharing provided by Windows. The only problem I can see arise from this is what actually happens is any changes you make last on one PC will reflect in the next one on next access.

If you restore TB! files on your desktop it means you're not really using your desktop solely for backup. In this case share the mail account if possible to have both your desktop and notebook access one account. Otherwise backing up TB! is always a good idea and storing it elsewhere is better. MSG> The backup/restore process works fine.

If you're deleting messages but they seem to show up after a restore are you purging and compressing all of your folders? I purge, compress, backup and every restore never brought from the dead a message that was meant to be deleted. Purging and compressing your folders I believe will wipe your account of deleted folders, messages and attachments, etc. MSG> I'd like to be able to restore all my mailboxes so that the desktop MSG> will mirror what is on my laptop. If you share your account the problem will disappear and what will happen is your notebook will mirror your desktop and your desktop mirror your notebook. I have the same setup as yourself. My notebook is my primary and my desktop my secondary. Both run XP and both are connected to each other via a very simple network. I thought running a network will cost and arm and a leg but it's really less than 10.00 dollars to accomplish. Look at the back of your PCs and see if you have 1394 IEEE firewire ports and if you do you're in luck. Your PCs should be able to communicate in live time and at blazing speeds. Nothing beats a stable network for less than 10.00 and a network sure beats almost anything else :) - -- Best regards, Victor B.
