Hello TBUDL,

So far so good: I pointed the Files & Directories for one account to the 
Dropbox directory I had created for this purpose. Mail databases are 
synchronised; I deleted a message in TB! on one computer, then started TB! on 
the other, and the message is not being shown any more.

Of course, I did this with an account that I don't use any more. So I cannot 
test sending and receiving, but I think it should work. I will create an 
throw-away accout and give it a spin.
