Guten Morgen,

rg> How about a networked mail folder and two BATs that both reference that
rg> same database?

That's exactly the way it's working here.

One caveat, though: The view mode per folder is stored not locally,
but in the message base. Since the "column autosize" option has been
removed, you may have to adjust column widths on each machine again
and again if you happen to use different screen sizes - like on a
desktop and a laptop, or if you prefer windows over full screen
display.

For this reason I'm still using TheBat v3.0.1.33 which is the last
version not crippled in this respect. Maybe you can train your users
better to make the necessary adjustments every time or just life with
the waisted screen space. ;-)


rg> If one machine is a laptop you would need to start your VPN and map that

I have found that Windows VPN is very slow, and I really do mean
"very". Even on the same network I only get transfer rates of about
one MB/s or less. Working with larger folders is very difficult that
way. I'm therefore using Windows Offline Folders to synchronize the
laptops. When detached, they take with them the most recent message
base and when reconnected, they synchronize to the latest updates. If
something important comes up while not connected, the laptop can
always fetch or send new mail by itself and synchronize again later,
of course.
