My problem is not transferring files from the Win 7 laptop to the Linux desktop; that works well with rsync in Cygwin. My problem is getting ready for another trip and updating the Win 7 laptop with the changed files and directories from the Linux desktop. I guess I could do as I originally did, update the files on the ext3 USB disk and then use the Win 7 application that reads from (but not writes to) the ext3 USB disk to put the emails and directories on the Win 7 laptop, but that, as far as I know, requires deleting all the emails and directories from the laptop and copying all of them from the ext3 USB disk, which takes a LONG time (I currently have 1140 directories and 70812 files, which take up 4.2 gigabytes).
