Yes i know about IMAP, but if exists any POP3|SMTP solution? Well, in theory you could use the Synchronise function. If you have a USB stick (or something similar) you could save the synchronisation function. If it works? No idea. I never tested it. But this is why I was asking for an extended synchronisation function where you can upload adress-books, calendars etc. to a ftp-account (or better upload it by scp (ssh-copy, which means that the transfer is encrypted)) where the other The Bat can synchronise the data (see mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]). For mails this might be more difficult as there is a bigger data volume than with address book or calendar. But there I could imagine that all data since last synchronisation is saved to the ftp-account. By doing that you always would have synchronous data. If you have a very fast internet connection you also could put the data files on a share which you can access by mounting that directories. Then you even don't have to synchronise data. But of course the working will be definitely slower than working with a message base stored locally... -- Best regards, Martin Using The Bat 2.04.4 on Windows XP Current version is 2.04.04 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Leave messages on server for X number of days works OK for the receiving part, but the sending/replying is still a nuisance. All I can think to do is BCC yourself on all sends, but of course that is a far from perfect solution. I tried this with POP for quite some time and was always frustrated.

Dave Gorman, [DG] wrote: DG Leave messages on server for X number of days works OK for the DG receiving part, Not really. I tried that arrangement for a while for my home and office mail management. It took only a short while for me to look seriously at IMAP for a solution and I eventually went that route even though I knew many were having issues with TB!'s IMAP. The problem exists especially when you manage a large volume of the same mail at both locations. It's not nice reading 200 messages at home and reach the office to see 260 new messages. I now have to find the 60 new messages among the 200 others I read at home. This problem would be especially bad after a weekend of not being at the office. Sometimes, over a thousand messages are unread and scattered across many folders. With IMAP that problem doesn't exist. I fire up ThunderBird at work and see all folders with messages read and unread just as they are with TB! at home. DG but the sending/replying is still a nuisance. All I can think to DG do is BCC yourself on all sends, but of course that is a far DG from perfect solution. Actually, that solution is a pretty good one. At least you're not faced with the problem I outlined above. You'll just have a copy of all sent messages. DG I tried this with POP for quite some time and was always frustrated.
