Views and window configuration are settings stored in the registry. If you're using TB! on separates systems you may very well not wish to synchronise that part of things anyway since optimal window size and fonts would depend on screen size and display resolution.

Though TB!, by default, keeps all these together, you can store your address books anywhere you like. You may also store your main mail folder or an accounts data or a particular folders mail in a specific location of your choice.

I once managed all my mail across my network on another machine. I moved my mail folder to the other machine soon after a hard disk failure on my working machine. I was surprised how well it worked considering. Initial opening of a folder containing more than 10,000 messages was distinctly slower but that was about it.

The IMAP support will be much better then. - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator _ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 iQA/AwUBPy2+TlfJ62ArBxfiEQLWLQCgzFvkBb/TczR/vaKiVT7+XY5culoAmgK2 aEhsmFweiTFN4w8ANLH0hOtB =X1Xc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
