If I understand it correctly, with IMAP, I would leave all of my mail on my ISP's server, and both the desktop and laptop could simultaneously access the mail. However, it seems to me that this would be constrained by how much space I am permitted to have on the ISP's mail server. My mail folder occupies about 635 MB of space. I also don't like the idea of leaving personal mail on an outside server. After reading all of the posts on this subject, It seems to me that I could do the following: download mail to either the laptop or the desktop, but then use the synchronization feature of The Bat to make sure that both machines have the same mail on their hard drives. Would this also work to automatically copy to the laptop all of the mail on the desktop, the first time I invoke synchronization on the laptop?
