Hi Günter,

Of course, you use the client to create and move folders on the server. > and all of TB's filtering of the inbox to the folders therefore > takes place at server level? It would affect server level. Of course, TheBat still runs on your local machine, and so do its filters. But (while connected) the instant a filter on your home machine decides to move a message between folders, this change will also become fact for the work machine. > And any local folder structure is an exact replica of the server's > folder structure? Yes, this is correct. > If I have local folders on the home machine but not on the work > machine, moving messages from the server to the local folders will > delete it from the server and therefore from the folder structure on > the work machine (which only replicates that on the server)? Exactly, that's the idea. Compare it to a classic file server: If you move a file using one client machine, a second machine will instantly see the file in its new location and no longer display it in the old one. > Quite a change from the familiar way of doing things under POP... Well, yes. :-) -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Alto Speckhardt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
