Question to the road warriors among you: How do you synchronize email between your laptop and the PC at your office after you return from a trip?
Ok, for anything that's received I am using a simple solution: I set up my server so that it maintains two sets of copies. One gets downloaded the instant the office PC comes online. The other does the same but only to the laptop with a different login. The trick was to use forwarding plus one regular mailbox. So this was fairly easy.
This does not work for sent emails. Those are not stored on the server so I can't get them back down from there. Tried copying email folders and SMF files but to no avail. I could make that work by always using the exact same client but it'll still be clumsy. Another idea would be to BCC a separate email box on my server but that's kind of clumsy as well. Plus I might forget.
Any ideas? How do you guys do this?
This may not work for you, but most of my colleagues who travel a lot use webmail of some variety. Accessible from any computer, even if not theirs, and all neatly kept in the same place. Some of them only use webmail when on the road and some use it always.
