Just use IMAP instead of POP. Keep in mind that TheBat's IMAP is quite
buggy at the moment though, so you might want to wait (and pay) for
the repairs promised (once again) for v4.1.

One advantage of IMAP is that you can access the same storage from
anywhere, with any program. You could perfectly well use e.g. TheBat 
at home and Outlook at work.

I'd advise against it: You'd need quite a conneection for this since 
TheBat accesses its message base a lot. Transfer volumes are clearly 
intended for local use, even having the message box files on a local 
file server causes delays, on a VPN depending on the connection it 
might very well be totally unacceptable.

No, Voyager is just TheBat-on-a-stick. You could run it from the 
stick carrying it with you all the time, but it doesn't have any more 
sync options than TheBat does.
