Hi all,
A while ago I set up a friend so that two computers running TB! share
the same mailboxes stored on one of the machines.
I did this by setting up TB! on computer A and then on computer B I
created accounts with the same name but directing the default location
to computer A. This (besides some minor flubs) works perfectly.
However, now my friend wants to disconnect his computer (computer B)
from the network and take it with him on vacation. While he doesn't
need to send or receive mail while out of the office, he does need to
be able to reference his emails.
My first attempt to make this possible was to sit down at the computer
that he wants to take away and create a new account that this time
doesn't point to computer A but to the local disk. I then copied his
mail folder from computer A to the local account on computer B.
Everything went as planned until he disconnected computer B from the
network and fired up TB!. At this point TB! complained that it
couldn't connect to the mail folder on computer A. This I expected,
however acknowledging the error another window popped up saying that
it couldn't create a working directory. Clicking OK on this message
caused TB! to close.
I then tried to install a fresh copy of TB! to another location on
computer B hoping that he could just use that version while out of the
office. Unfortunately, the fresh install promptly imported the
original settings and I was back to square one. I guess it did a scan
of the system and noticed the other installation of TB!
So after all the above, here is my question. How can I set TB! so
that while on the network it connects to the appropriate remote files,
but while not on the network still allows TB! to run with the local
files.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
