CT>> 4. Can the synchronization be executed directly using a network

A> how is it done currently via direct local network?  (I've never tried it)

Currently it's not done via local network. It's a 3-step process where
you first create an index of the account you want to update. Then you
bring this file over to the other computer and execute there step two
generating a file that incorporates the differences (actually the
additions only) that the second system has compared to the first one.
Finally you copy this file and "apply" it as the third step to your
initial system which will be updated.

I was thinking that it would be really cool to have the two clients
"talk" and execute this transfer without going through all these
steps. As I said, I realize this may introduce a lot of potential
problems and it means adding some capabilities that are not really
natural to a mail client. I will have to check how other systems
provide for synchronizing...
