Sometimes when I return and run the synchronization utility again, it puts the newest version of the identity folder back on my desktop G4, but then when I retrieve mail from my ISP's POP3 server, the retrieval stalls in the midst of message retrieval UNLESS the laptop and desktop are networked and the laptop's boot volume is mounted on the G4's desktop (this condition is necessary for the synchronization utility to run, of course, but once it's completed I don't understand why the G4 must "see" the PowerBook's hard drive to update my email database). The database that is updated under these circumstances CLEARLY is the local (desktop computer's) database; no changes occur to the file modification date info on the laptop's copy, and next time I run the synchronization utility the laptop's file's are replaced by those of the desktop machine. Curiously, the reverse problem never occurs; i.e., if I update the laptop's user identity folder by synchonizing with a newer copy of the database on the desktop machine, then run off somewhere with the laptop, I can retrieve my mail to the laptop without the stalling that I've described above. I should also note that when mail retrieval stalls on the desktop machine, it doesn't stall FOREVER; i.e., if I have a dozen messages to retrieve it will eventually get them all (perhaps over the course of 10 minutes or so), and if the two computers ARE networked but the laptop has fallen asleep, waking up the laptop immediately allows the desktop's mail retrieval to finish. I run latest versions of Entourage for X and OS 10.2.6 on both machines. Running Disk First Aid to repair permissions and all the chron jobs on both cmoputers doesn't "fix" this problem. Thanks so much.
