Wife and I each have E-rage on PowerBooks, both current under latest MS and
Jaguar. She's now in eastern Europe and will be there for at least another
week, checking in at internet cafes. Right now she has >250 messages, this
low number due to efforts here and there to clear spam and other stuff, but
her mailbox is also approaching capacity.
She'd like me to clean it out while leaving a few items she noted "on
line," but allowing her to revive what she's been sent once she returns
since access from there with that number of messages at the internet cafes
is, reportedly, v_e_r_y s__l__o__w ....
I am sure (article of faith) that can be done a number of ways. My approach
(comments encourage) is as follows:
Create a new identity on my powerbook with her account's attributes and
enabling "on line" access.
Download all that's there to the new identity.
Go offline or otherwise validate that all that is downloaded is truly on
board my computer.
Go back online and "clean house," leaving what she's specified on the
server.
Tell her about same, wherein she should see all the specific retained items
and anything new.
Upon her return,
Send a copy of the interim identity (on my computer) to her identity (via CD
ROM or similar medium from mine to hers).
Import the former into the latter.
Thereupon,
Get plenty of rewards for same, and live happily ever after.
Will this work, or am I likely to find the dream shattered with no hope of
synching the interim with the long-term mail database? Other solutions?
