Desktop To Laptop And Back Again
Hello Group, I was hoping that there was a simple answer to this. I do most of my work at home on my desktop computer, then I need to move all the TheBat! information to the laptop, when I am on the road, then when I get back to the desktop when I get home. I am hoping to do this with a very painless operation. -- Best regards, Chasonek mailto:chaso...@hughes.net All Mail Virus Checked on it's way out, AND Virus Checked And Spam Checked on it's way in.

Otherwise (if you have TB! installed on your laptop as well as on your desktop), you could create a backup on your desktop pc and restore it on your laptop before you go, and the reverse after you get back. If you use POP, make sure you don't download or create messages on your desktop pc while the live mailbase is on your laptop, or those messages may be lost when you restore the backup you created from your laptop at the end of the trip. If you are using IMAP, the messagebase is on the server rather than your PC so you only need to copy across the account settings to your laptop's copy of TB! or Voyager. By the way, it is easier for people to help you if they know which TB! and Windows versions you are using, and whether you use POP or IMAP. To report the TB! and Windows versions you are using, I would suggest adding the following to the templates you use with this list:- Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME %- %WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build %- %WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER %WINDOWSCSDVERSION%- -- Best regards MFPAmailto:expires2...@ymail.com All generalisations are dangerous, even this one.

I am hoping to do this with a very painless operation. I'm in a similar situation: I do most of my work on the office computer, then work on my home computer, and then travel and use my laptop. My solution is to leave all messages on the server, so that each computer downloads all messages. I use POP only. One computer is the main computer for each account, for example the office computer for the business account, the home computer for the private account. The main computer for each account is set to leave messages on server for 14 days. (The laptop is just a backup for travelling, it does not delete any messages from the server.) So all incoming mails are on all computers. How about outgoing mails? I BCC all outgoing messages to myself. Therefore, if I send a message from computer A, it will be received back on computer A and I filter only incoming messages. It will also be received by computers B and C. So the whole conversations are complete on each computer. I never look at or use the Sent folder. I have no need to move the whole message base back and forth, as each computer has the whole message base. Others might suggest IMAP. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.8.10 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I am hoping to do this with a very painless operation. 02 December 2013 I believe the Synchronize menu allows this, but if it works like backup and restore I would rather use Second Copy to move the latest master copy across to other PC's. Frankly, I wouldn't trust Synchronize unless a raft of current users said it was 100% trustworthy, after some disasters with Backup and Restore. I have to say that I am a bit perturbed that Ritlabs see fit to release V6.* at the moment it seems so far from prime time. It doesn't inspire confidence, to be frank.

What I do (for a similar situation, except that the laptop is used most of the time, while the desktop is used only occasionally) is similar to what MFPA has suggested. Upon installing The Bat on the newer machine, I made a backup on the older machine, copied it over to the newer machine, and imported. (And, whenever I've changed settings, I do the same sort of thing, but export and import just the settings.) However, my requirements are not terribly stringent, requiring that both The Bat installations have exactly the same message bases, so I keep them more or less synchronized by: 1. Keeping incoming mail on the server (for a week). 2. When sending an email, I routinely send myself a BCC, so that I end up having a copy on both machines of what I sent (at least the BCC). 3. To avoid excessive BCC clutter, I don't send a BCC to myself for a simple email (a quick thank you, for example) or for a list post (such as this email I am typing as we speak). So, as long as I download email on each machine at least once a week, I don't miss any incoming mail (including BCC's of my own messages). Works for me - YMMV. (As I said, my requirements for having identical message bases is not stringent - the two bases only have to be similar.)

Re: Desktop To Laptop And Back Again
Hello MFPA, my Gmail account ignores the settings I have in TB! about leaving on or deleting from server. That's right. Gmail just does what you select in Settings-Forwarding and POP/IMAP-POP Download-2.When messages are accessed with POP: I have it set to delete Gmail's copy. That way, I can see end send email from my phone or tablet, but received messages will only be deleted when I access my account from TB!. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
