"Essentially, I'm wanting to synchronize my mail between my work notebook and my home desktop."
Hi Steve, Exactly the basic problem that I was trying to solve for the past few weeks. I wnated to do significantly more thatn just mail. I have a peer to peer network between desktop and laptop. I tried sharing drives and copying relevant files back and forth [ this is after installing TB independently on each machine. I was advised to try 'Briefcase' not really the answer that I wanted as it updated the files to or from the laptop/desktop depending upon your settings but you then had extract them from the briefcase and save them to the relevant drive/folder. I have settled for buying the Pro version of "Easy2Sync" this allows you to set a variety of tasks to be executed automatically, scheduled or manually. You can synchronise, copy or overwrite in either direction......the programme also asks when it discovers a file on the receiver that is more up to date than on the sender. Have a look at: http://itsth.de/ for [Easy2Sync (Business-Edition)] and see if it suits.
