I think exporting and importing would be a little bit annoying after a while, since it involves to many actions to do on a daily basis, especially if I want to synchronize more than one folder (which I do, I would like to synchronize all folders). Even more, as I remember the export and import tools, it does not remember the status of the messages (i.e. read/unread, answered and so forth). I do not have access to The Bat! right now which means I can't try it, but I'm pretty sure it works that way. Tools->Synchronization seems more interesting. Have you used this? Does it preserve message status as described above? What happens if I have the same message on both computers, does they show up twice in each mailbox or is The Bat! smart enough to recognize identically messages? The best would be if I could synchronize both instances of my mail database with one single action, i.e. if I don't have to do anything more than pointing out the two directories containing the databases and start the operation.
