I think this is where IMAP comes in. You wouldn't need to synchronise, as the messages bases would be on the server.

Wallop - just like that. aacu> Anything I should know before I do that? If the desktop has always the updated mailbase, that should be OK. However, if you deleted something on the Laptop but not on the Desktop, it will reappear on the Laptop. Same siutation as with the synchronisation feature, but you'll have a problem if you changed the folder structure. aacu> Are there any other files that keep a record of the number of aacu> emails or some obscure settings related to the MAIL directory aacu> hidden away elsewhere that will then conflict with a new MAIL aacu> directory suddenly appearing? I believe everything in TB is mail-related.

Not that I matter, but I don't even understand what you mean. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
