If you have access to the filesystem on your workstation, which I assume you do, I think rsync would work much better. Install rsync on both computers, and then a command resembling: rsync --archive --verbose workstation:"~/Mail" ~/ should do what you want. It would mirror an exact copy of your mailbox files, keeping the flags and stuff in place, and would be more efficient than a scp. If you wish to synchronize both ways, throw in an "--update" flag and do another rsync with the host and destination swapped. Also, I recommend going over ssh: export RSYNC_RSH="ssh" -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
