Well, having started this thread, I would like to bring it back to my problem: which is synching the use of The Bat on two computers so that I can access my accounts from either computer. After having placed a separate installation of TB on my new laptop for several days, and with the situation that each computer has its own message base, and with respect to both gmail and private domain accounts, mail is allowed to remain on the server after download for at least 90 days with respect to gmail, forever, I have been able to determine several things: a. mail on my private domains gets downloaded to both computers, so long as the download is within the time the mail is set to remain on the server b. mail that is sent from one computer is not seen by the other computer unless I copy myself on the message c. once gmail is downloaded to one computer, it will not download to the other computer. When I look at the gmail settings for my account on the internet, I see that POP is enabled for all mail after a given date in 2006; and that IMAP is enabled. Thus, gmail is set up for BOTH POP and IMAP. I like the idea of being able to download the mail to my computer rather than run the risk of having it sit out on a server in the middle of who knows where. So, it seems the only way to ensure that mail on both computers is synched is to use some sort of synching program. On a related thread, "Adding The Bat to a new computer on a home network" Jack La Rosa recommended www.wuala.com to use for synching folders on two computers. Does everyone agree or do you have other suggestions for this purpose? -- Avi Avram Sacks, using The Bat! ver. 5.8.2 on WinXP pro sp3 and 6.0.0 on Win7pro ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
