I use ROBOCOPY (with the /MIR switch) from the Windows 2000
Resource Kit, but you could also use XXCOPY (with the /CLONE
switch) or perhaps even XCOPY (with the /D switch), but XCOPY
cannot forward deletions.

There is no way to merge message stores like in Lotus Notes. You
have to copy the entire message store (the entire folder) in the
right direction every time before you change computers.
