The only thing I can think of is to run separate installations of
TB!, i.e., one that uses the central server working mail directory,
and the other that uses a local working mail directory.
However, this is an awkward one especially since TB!'s basic
configuration is in the registry, and as a result you can only run a
single installation per user.
The only thing I can recommend is to install another copy of TB! on
the laptop as another user, i.e., create a new user account, log-on
as the new user, then install TB!. Recreate the accounts as in the
central installation, close TB!, copy all mail bases over from the
central installation, restart TB! and then do a CTRL+ALT+Shift+L to
make TB! find all the folders.
Now, when you're finished using the TB! with the central working
directory, for the day, synchronize all mail from the server with
that of the local installation. You could use a file manager to do
this synchronisation. Done. When at home, run the local
installation.
BTW, though both are installed in separate user spaces, you could
run both from the same user space by creating a special shortcut
that prompts you for the user credentials. This is the case for
Win2k and XP. I don't know about Win9x.
This all takes some setting up but could be made to work so if you
need any clarification, please ask.
