I'm doing something simiar with Thunderbird. I use PowerArchiver with a backup script to backup the Thunderbird directories (Program and data) to a USB drive then use a batch file with the powerarchiver commandline to delete the old data off the computer and unparck what I had just backed up from another computer. Works quite well. I can point you to where to get the software and send you the backup script and restore batch file if you want. -- Dave Calvarese Member of E-mailaholics International PGP Key Available at http://www.myopicdragon.com/pgp.html
