I would say yes, unless they are propagated by synchronising. Or by backing up the account properties on one device and restoring that backup onto the other device. -- Best regards MFPAmailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Versifiers write poems for it.

Additional folders within an account should appear if you press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+L after selecting the appropriate account in the folder tree. Additional accounts would need to be created as a new account on the laptop and pointed to the same location as the equivalent account on the desktop. You could presumably make them appear automatically if you employed a method of synchronising the TB! installations. > Thanks. That's a good idea. I can't take credit.

After reading this thread for some time I thought I should jump in with a description of the system we have used for many years: My computer is the administrator for all email accounts including my wife's. I have POP3 set up on my computer for all accounts. My wife has her account set up as POP3 on her computer. Both of us have our accounts set as IMAP on our phones and any sent messages are automatically BCC'd to our accounts to insure that there is a copy of all sent messages available for archiving in the POP3 account on the computers. The phones sync every 10 minutes and the computers download every 10 minutes. This is very easy to manage with minimal effort. No networking is needed.
