Kevin, Bill's solution does not solve instances when you send mail from the notebook. I use the following set-up to cover for that. Whenever I send an e-mail from my notebook I send a blind copy (BCC) to myself. The Bat! on my notebook knows it should leave these e-mails on the server. Then: When I reach home I start collecting my e-mail and The Bat! automatically sorts the messages that I have send during my trip to it's Sent Mail folder. Thus my home PC always contains copies of all the mail I get and send. On the notebook: Add these macros to your templates for 'New message' and 'Reply' (and if you use these also in 'Forward' and 'Reading conformation') You do this at menu: Account -> Properties -> Templates -------------begin macros----------- %BCC="" %BCC="%FROMNAME <%FROMADDR>" --------------end macros------------ From now you are sending automatically BCC copies to yourself. Then go to the Sorting Office and make a new rule under 'Selective download'. Make the rule 'Detect by originator' with as signal string your own e-mail address. This will make your notebook neglect these mails on the server. (Call the rule 'Ignore BCC copies' or something like that). That's it on this side. At home: Go to the Sorting Office and make a new rule under 'Incoming mail' Apply these settings in the Rule tab: Source folder = 'Inbox' Move message to folder = 'Sent mail' Filtering string = *your own e-mail address* Location = Sender Presence = Yes Then under the tab Actions click 'Mark the message as read' Now your own mail is sorted to the 'Sent Mail' folder (you won't even notice it functioning). Call it "To Send mail if I send as BCC" or something like that. I actually never use the Synchronise tool between my notebook and home PC. If I really need copies my e-mails on the notebook I usually copy the all the Messages.tbb and the Messages.tbi files (containing the messages) onto the notebook before I leave for a trip (and address books). Hope i could be helpful. -- Best regards, Gerrit Kiers Using The Bat! v2.01.3 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
