I am getting very frustrated with the various methods of 'synchronising' The Bat betwen two machines.
A - The synchronise tool is not really synchrinise; it's actually add this lot onto what wa there before. I.e: if I have deleted an email from machine 2 then syncrinise back again the copy on machine 1 remains and everything gets too confusing for words. B - I tried the seting up of Machine 1 to send BCC of all outgoing mails, not delete them from the server and then Machine 2 collects them and complicatedly filters them to the Sent folder. All's well until one accidentally synchroinises account settings - all the careful setting up is chucked out. C - Neither of these would be a huge problem with one or even two email accounts but with 42 - it's an impossibility unles I empliyed someone full-timeto manage it !! ;-)) D - An automatic file-copy synchronise application I run a thte end of each day te ensure that work I've done on the desk-top is always duplicated on to the Laptop will not work with The Bat becasue the Laptop has decided to make the MAIL directory Read-Only and I cannot get it to be otherwise (a known issue with XP Pro apparently - and all Internet sourced cures are to no avail). SO.... My plan is simply to delete the entire contents of the MAIL directory on the Laptop and copy the entire contents of the Desktop mail directory in its place. Wallop - just like that. Anything I should know before I do that? Are there any other files that keep a record of the number of emails or some obscure settings related to the MAIL directory hidden away elsewhere that will then conflict with a new MAIL directory suddenly appearing? OF COURSE - if the system suggested to be able to selectively chasnge account settings using a global tick box system were implemented the whole panjandrujm would be much easier especially re option B above. But then no one that matters seems to understand how stonkingly useful that would be. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 2.11.02 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
