Re[2]: Synchronize features

CT 4. Can the synchronization be executed directly using a network
CT connection between the two clients?
A how is it done currently via direct local network?  (I've never tried it)

Currently it's not done via local network. It's a 3-step process where
you first create an index of the account you want to update. Then you
bring this file over to the other computer and execute there step two
generating a file that incorporates the differences (actually the
additions only) that the second system has compared to the first one.
Finally you copy this file and apply it as the third step to your
initial system which will be updated.

I was thinking that it would be really cool to have the two clients
talk and execute this transfer without going through all these
steps. As I said, I realize this may introduce a lot of potential
problems and it means adding some capabilities that are not really
natural to a mail client. I will have to check how other systems
provide for synchronizing...

Re[2]: Synchronize features

[Ciprian Tutu]

CT 2. Could you add the possibility to synchronize the sorting filters as
CT well? I would rather set them up in one place (wherever I happen to be
CT as I need them) and then just update the other machine through
CT synchronization.

CT 3. Same for templates. Both system, folder and AB.

ACM This is already there. IF you look in the synchronisation panel.
ACM You'll see the options to synchronise AB and account properties.
ACM Templates are stored at various levels so if you synchronise the account
ACM properties, the quick templates will be synchronised. For folder
ACM templates, synchronising the folders will do this. For address book
ACM templates, synchronising the address book will do this.

ACM IOW's, you can completely synchronise the settings etc. I did this
ACM regularly between The Bat! and SecureBat! for some time.

How about the sorting filters. That is not really part of the account
settings nor the folder settings.

Also I generally avoid synchronizing the account properties. The
settings of a home/modem connection are quite different from those on
my laptop which sits on a lan. For instance I check the email every 2
min at work, but only every 5 or 10 at home.
I guess I can live with resetting that manually though. :)

Thanks,
Ciprian
