I suspect you don't change the profile several times a day. So,
if you first get the profile away from the app, and then get the
mail out of the profile, is makes copying just what has changed
easier.
Step 1 in my previous post handles that.
And then, have whatever function you use to copy, have
it only copy what has changed. There probably has not been a lot
that has changed in a few hours. And, make A match B can be a
one button operation.
Step 4 pretty much handles that.
And, while "syncing" can be automated, I want any overwriting of
files to be only at the precise moment I chose. No "auto
updates". That reduces surprises.
Agreed. When I wrote Steps 1-6 I was "flow charting" a script
which would be manually invoked. Actually it will be two scripts
as one machine is Linux and the other WinXP.
In a full day it appears that each machine will accumulate ~30
emails which need to be copied to the other.
copied to flash for transfer.
Is there some reason you are stuck with sneaker net rather than
direct machine-to-machine?

My view of a "minimalist network" is evidently not socially
acceptable to the current generation. I have two laptops with
compatible Ethernet hardware. I wish to define my "network" as
having exactly 3 physical components --{ 2 computers + 1 Ethernet
patch cable = 1 network ;} Gee, does that not sound like a
updated RS232-C null modem application. I'm being flamed for not
wanting to stick a router/switch/hub/other between two machines
with static IP's instead of learning some details of Ethernet. I
remember when a UART was several square inches of PCB rather than
a single chip. There is >30 years since I dealt with component
level implementations rather than prepackaged pablum. I'm
retired. Why shouldn't I want to continue learning? </end rant ;>
I've accumulated a batch of Wikipedia links on the general topic
of Ethernet for theory.
Though I'm a Debian user, I've found an apparent treasure trove
of implementation details on _Linux From Scratch_ mailing lists.
Any suggestions for sources I should examine or a mailing list
where how I wish to use Ethernet would be on topic and acceptable?
As for different aspect ratios, I have wide screen LCD and narrow
CRTs. I don't pay any attention to the difference.
I take it that you're not of the tri-focal generation ;/
Oh, I am way beyond that. But I got Lasik so I can drive without
glasses, and I have a family of short range glasses which
basically cover reading, computer and under a dashboard. Some
soldering is with a ten power head band.
