Ian, thanks for your e-mail. I have the following configuration, which doesn´t seems to defer in concept with yours: ;; Set to the location of your Org files on your local system (setq org-directory "~/DropBox/org") ;; Set to the name of the file where new notes will be stored (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull "~/DropBox/org/flagged.org") ;; Set to <your Dropbox root directory>/MobileOrg. (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg") Which could be the reason why Windows isn´t locating the path to the existing directory? Do I need to have any specific configuration on .emacs for Mac and for Windows? regards, Orlando
