I knew you were going to say that.

POP accounts are identical, but SMTP depends on the ISP used to
connect to the Internet (and so is different in this case). Path to
the mailbase is also different because my computer has three separate
hard disks, my mother's has only one.

Correct, and what I normally want.

I can handle that (Kill dupes in all folders). Not really
"synchronisation" though.

My particular situation is that I normally work on my own computer,
but recently I've had to use my mother's computer. I've kept mailbases
in synch with Backup and Restore, but last week my mother's computer
had a major problem, and as a result I have important emails in each
mailbase but not on the server. I see Synchronise as the solution, but
if anyone has a better answer, I'm interested.
