We have been 'evaluating' TB and purchased our first license.
Although I feel that it is superior to Eudora (which I have used since it came
out) I must say that this storage of information makes TB very weak at best.
I am a 'road warrior' developer/consultant. My machine (our machines) have a
tendency to get hosed during development phases or changing clients/projects
etc.
When I get to the office on the weekend I want to copy my messages from my
laptop to my desktop. When our systems get hosed we want to load up the OS and
the load the couple of programs we use all the time.
With Eudora, on the weekend I could simply drag/drop my 'email' folder onto my
desktop and POW .. it knew everything there was to know. Or if a machine got
hosed .. load the os, load eudora from disk and copy the 'email' directory from
server and POW .. once again eudora was up to date.
Here I find it 'virtually' impossible to use TB in any kind of dynamic
environment. If all things are stored in the repository (WHICH IS THE WEAKEST
LINK IN WINDOWS) then I can see no way to make this work.
I Really hope that I am wrong and the someone will pop up here and say .. man ..
it is really easy .. just press this button ...
PLEASE .. good information is needed.
Thanks

all RIT entries in the registry @home and to import them @work. Furthermore you
have to modify some entries due to the fact that you have different folder names
on the two systems. I'm not sure what to do if you already have a setup @work
with mails stored on that system. I doubt that you may import your
home-setup-registry without causing some trouble (Please correct me someone if
I'm wrong) !
