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.
Have a look to see if your mail readers can Import/
/Export in a standard format, probably something
like Berkeley Unix Mail format. This is the thing
that allows direct transfer of emails as internet
textfiles, with standard separators, (#! rnews).
When you get back home plug the laptop into the LAN,
Export all road emails as a data file(s) to the home
machine, and Import into the home mailreader.
That was the case in the days I used a DOS-based CompuServe email. Meaning that in the early 90's all this was rather easy. Synchronizing was done by a batch file, took under five minutes after each trip. Progress in technology does not always mean progress in user friendliness :-(
