Now that we have it settled that an upgrade from ver. 1.62r to ver. 3.5+ is necessary in order for me to be able to set up a virtual "super inbox" folder (and thanks, again, for all of your advice and help), as long as I will be upgrading I have questions about using The Bat on multiple computers. I have a pc and a laptop. I want to be able to download and view e-mail on either machine and would like to be able to do this whether the two computers are hooked up in network or not. (I suspect that this latter item may not be easily possible.) And, I would like both machines to somehow automatically synchronize to each other's e-mail contents when they are hooked up in network. Is any or all of this possible. Finally, in order to do this, do I need to purchase two licenses; or, do I upgrade one and purchase outright a second license? And, do I need to upgrade to the professional or home version of The Bat?
I recognize the inherent problems with trying to have current mail on both machines. If I delete mail from the server once the mail is downloaded, the second machine will never be able to download that mail. On the other hand, if I leave mail on the server after a download for the second machine, the mailbox size limitation may be reached before I get around to downloading the mail on the second machine. Also, if the 1st machine downloads mail again and previously downloaded mail is still on the server, will the 1st machine blindly download all mail on the server and not just the new mail; effectively taking up hard drive space by putting multiple copies of the same e-mail into one of my mail folders? And, when my pc and laptop are in network with one another, what is the best way for me to get e-mail to synchronize on both machines? -- Avi Avram Sacks Chicago Using The Bat ver 1.62r (but not for long!) on MS XP Professional ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
