Then in order to go a step further and have total access all the time, I changed the name of the preferences file it calls (requires a small bit of Res Edit work) and it is then possible to run both the archives copy, and the regular copy at the same time.
Just move the prefs file into the Emailer application folder, then you don't need to rename it. Emailer will look in its own folder for a prefs file before looking in the Claris folder in the System folder. If it finds one it its own folder, it will use it.
Doing that will enable you to have as many copies running at the same time as you please.
Then just for the humor factor, I switched the Archive copy to use an entirely different email address. That makes it possible to send myself emails between different addresses on opposite monitors of the same machine. Why anybody (other than me) might have an excuse to do that I dunno... but it was funny realizing that it was possible.
You can do that without using multiple email addresses, just don't set one of them to auto collect email.
(can you say five monitors side by side by ...)
I used to have 4 in regular use, plus a 5th part time, plus a 6th across the room in almost regular use. I had two to my left, one stacked on top of the other (both 15", the lower was a 2nd for my main machine for things like email and AIM, the upper was for a 2nd Mac under my desk), a 19" in front of me for my main machine, and a 17" to the right for my PC (it was on a KVM controlling 3 different PCs under my desk). Then I had a part time iMac also to my right that was used for testing, and the 6th across the room was on a shelf over my service desk for whatever computer was being worked on, it was also usually running with something almost all the time.
All that is gone now, and I just have a little ol' laptop with a 13" screen as my primary work machine, I then use RD to connect to everything else thru the office or at the data center (I'm hoping to at least add a 2nd wide screen LCD soon as being down to one screen for everything, even using 10.5's spaces is still less convenient then having a 2nd monitor)
there are occasions that call for sending myself file transfer emails between the two machines. One is used as the OSX machine and the other is still on OS9.
Why email for file transfers? Why not just us regular file sharing? Much faster and usually easier once it is setup.
