What I would like to do is to have PC1 as the master, with all messages, directory structure, accounts, etc. set up there. Then have PC2 see the same structure over the network without having to download messages twice.
Maybe that doesn't make sense, so to clarify, if I download a message on PC1, file it in a directory called Fish, I should then be able to find the same message in the same directory on PC2 without it being downloaded again. If the Bat! is not loaded on PC1 and I download a new message on PC2, the actual message should be stored on the hard drive of PC1 and be visible when I load the Bat! on PC1.
I've tried installing using what look to me to be the appropriate settings on each computer, so, on PC1, the Bat! is configured as the master, and on PC2, as a client. I don't recall the exact settings but the illustration looked right with PC1 being at the top of the tree with network clients, and PC2 being a client.
I've tried with one account by going to Properties > Files & Directories and browsing to a directory on PC1's hard drive, then doing the same on PC2 with the directory mapped as z: over the network. If the directory in the account's Files & Directories settings is set as z: I get a message on PC1 that says z: cannot be found. Likewise if I change it to d: on PC1, PC2 then says that it cannot find d:
I spent almost all day yesterday trying to get it to work as I would like but have failed. Can anyone help me with this, or am I trying to achieve the impossible.
Thanks, Cams
