Hi !

I hope that someone will be abble to help me with the problem I get with
my

samba machines, though it is not really a samba problem.

Here is the config I use :

I'm running a samba controler on a rhel 5 machine (rpm -qa says

samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5) which acts as a domain controler.

My machines, all windows XP use to be connected to this controler. I have
no

problem with them. The problem occurs with laptops.

Indeed, we have some drives mapped to the domain controler. The one that

causes problem is the M: drive, on which is stored the profile of
thunderbird.

When the laptop is connected to the network, no problems. Thunderbird
works

just fine. All mails are here.

When the laptop is out of the office, connected or not to another network

doesn't change anything, thunderbird shows a weird interface, there are

missing mails, missing folders on the left view and so on.

When I connected the M: drive to \\server\mail, I right-clicked on the M:

drive in the "My computer" view and selected the option to have this drive

offline. When I'm disconnected of the network, I can walk in this drive
and

see all the files that belongs to thunderbird. I even can view the
content of

individual files with notepad for example.

Is there anyone here either to help me or to direct me to another place
where

I could find help for this peculiar topic ?

I've of course searched the web, read many things about offline drives,
but

found nothing helpfull.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
