sync local e-mail
I use Vista Mail as client for my e-mail and nntp accounts on 2 Windows 7
computers. This works fine for all on line messages, but I also have several maps with archived messages which are stored locally. Is there an easy way to keep those in sync on both computers? (I have been experimenting by copying the VM data files from one to the other system, but this results in access security problems) -- |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os |

This works fine for all on line messages, Only for e-mail *if* you use IMAP on both hosts so they stay in sync with other and with the mail server. For NNTP, you'll have to copy the message store from one host to another. Never used Vista's Mail client to know if it separates its e-mail message store from its NNTP message store to make it easy to just copy over the files for the NNTP message store. but I also have several maps with archived messages which are stored locally.

The above is for synchronizing out to an Internet server and back to all other hosts. If your hosts can connect in your intranetwork, you could use file sharing in both hosts. Or you copy the maps onto a network share accessible to both hosts. Rather than you do the synchronizing, you could use 3rd party software (e.g., Syncback Free) to keep folders in sync between the two hosts or both of them in sync with a network drive. (I have been experimenting by copying the VM data files from one to the other system, but this results in access security problems) No mention of virtual machines before this paragraph but then you didn't describe that setup or your network setup, either. |

VM = VistaMail. (still processing the rest of your reply) thanks, Then IMAP will work to keep multiple clients (same or different hosts) in sync with each other. Don't know if Vista Mail works with Microsoft's Exchange servers but that would also require you be using Hotmail/Live/Outlook.com as your e-mail service. If Vista Mail can use the Exchange protocol and if Hotmail/Live/Outlook.com is your e-mail provider then using Exchange will keep multiple clients (same or different hosts) in sync, too. If you are using POP, configure Vista Mail to *not* delete new e-mails after it retrieves them from the server. The normal POP routine is to issue RETR(ieve) and DEL(ete) commands. If you configure the client to not delete after retrieve, the e-mail stays on the server. Then another POP client can see it there and retrieve a copy, too. Only until one of your POP clients does a delete on the e-mail will it disappear from the server. |
