I didn't use ZIP or RAR; I just copied and pasted, although it took a while. Now there is a new problem: I downloaded e-mail from all my gmail accounts and discovered that e-mail downloaded on to one computer does not then load on to the second computer when mail is downloaded to the second computer. In the wee hours of the morning, this is not a problem, as there are few messages being sent, and they are most unimportant. G-mail is left on the server forever, so it's not as if it is being deleted upon download. Moreover, I can still see the newly downloaded e-mail on my cell phone. So, why does a download to one computer on the network preclude a download of the same mail to the second computer? Is it because the computers are using the IP address on the public side of the modem? If so, is there any solution besides using a synchronization program? Synchronization is fine while both computers are inside on the same network. But, if I go away for a business trip for a 2-4 days, and I download mail, then my wife won't see it until I return.
