I'm not very familiar with where TB keeps those files -- I'm coming from Outlook and Outlook Express which scatter files everywhere making it nearly impossible to do what you're describing.

I was thinking of using those little USB drives, the ones which can fit on a keychain and hold 128 MB or so. Obviously, I'd have to keep the mail within that size, but then I could just plug the folder in either at home or at work. Also, in theory, this setup offers a degree of extra security as the mail is physically in my pocket and not on a machine somewhere.

I couldn't set up filtering at work -- they're using Exchange and as far as I know, the filtering will only work via Outlook. Still, maybe, hopefully, I'm wrong? Again, thanks for all the niformation, Steve ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
