Hello everybody,
I didn't find an answer to my question, therefore forgive me if it has been answered already. This is gonna be a little bit longer: Lets say I have a Unix-Server (very basic), a WinXP desktop on which TB! is running and a laptop that also has TB! running. The desktop, though, is the one that fetches and then stores the mails locally (in TB!, obviously). I could (and I do so when I'm gone) of course also download the mails to my laptop but I do not want to do so when I am mainly working with my desktop as that would mean incomplete accounts: some mails on the desktop, some on the laptop. But as it would sometimes be more convenient to just check the mails with my laptop instead of going to the desktop, I was wondering if there is any way that I could have the laptop kind of check out TB! on my desktop, if you understand what I am trying to say. :-) Of course I could set up TB! on the laptop that way that it leaves the mail on the server so they will then be deleted by the desktop-TB! when fetching them but that wouldn't help for those mails that have already been fetched by the desktop. Plus sent mails (via the laptop) wouldn't appear in my desktop-TB! and so on. Synchronizing in this scenario is not a way to go, too much of a hassle. The server doesn't seem to help here as I can't think of a way to use it for solving my "problem". There is, though, such a thing called "TCP/IP or Dial-out server" for TB! instead of "TCP/IP Workstation" (the way it is set up right now). Would that help me? As far as I understand it wouldn't: Mail requested by the client (= laptop) would not be stored on the server (= desktop) _as its own mail_ but as mail for the client. But the client and the server are (should!) actually the same, at least email-wise. So this doesn't seem to help me (haven't tried it, though, as I can't risk a mess). What I would need is some kind of a mirror-TB! on my laptop when looking for mails - idealistically, the mails checked/read with the laptop should then also be marked read on the desktop, the ones deleted via the laptop should then be gone on the desktop, the ones moved/answered etc. should be... and so on. But I guess that is simply not possible without synchronizing? Unfortunately, the latter takes way too long and is much too complicated for this pure "convenience problem". But maybe somebody has a great idea? Thanks for your thoughts, Alexander ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
