and others. Thanks for all your help. My needs, while relatively pressing for me, are, in the great scheme of things, pretty simple. Now that I have my folders copied across both computers I think I'll use fobotcso's simple method of keeping the inboxes in synch - ie leave messages on the server until both computers have picked them all up. A bit manual but it suits my purposes.
I liked the look of that prog, Mac, but $70 dollars in SPP (South Pacific Peso) terms is too much for this koala to bear. I did a bit of a search for a shareware or free mail synchroniser, but no luck.
Sorry for the tardy reply. About a week ago this list of things to do just appeared, stuck on the fridge door ...
