This is very old mail. Joyce and I are both interested for almost the same reasons. She is traveling and wants to use her laptop. I am going to be using two wireless laptops (one Mac and one Windows) instead of a desktop. Do these comments still apply?

The following should work: If you open Windows Explorer, and navigate to your TB! installation directory, you'll find a directory called 'Mail' (unless you've moved it to another location). Within this directory are other directories. Each of these denote an account or a common folder. The account folders have the names of your accounts so they're easily noticed. Go Back to TB! and create a new account or accounts for the mail folders you wish to be able to use in TB!. Close TB! and then go back to explorer. Copy the folders containing the mail you wish to use to the account directory for the account you just created. Restart TB!. If the folders have not appeared (I doubt they would), hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-L. This will make TB! search for lost folders. S> I have looked at Synchronistaion - but that doesn't work because the S> actual installation files of the old mail have been removed. Yes. This option synchronises one TB! installation with another so that the target installation is updated to have all mail/accounts/ template/address book information etc as the source installation.

That restores a TB! installation that used TB!'s backup utility to create a backup of. ====================== From: Marck D Pearlstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Jon Lawrance on TBUDL <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, April 27, 2002, 9:52:36 PM Subject: Synchronising my Desktop and Laptop -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jon, @27 April 2002, 20:31:10 +0100 Jon Lawrance wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Is it an easy process to store TB on both my laptop and desktop and > somehow synchronise the two? Does it work well in practice? In a word, yes. I use synchronisation to keep up to date between The Bat! and SecureBat! on the same machine. Not quite the same, but the principles apply.
