| | Keeping mail/folders synced with windows live on multiple computer I am using windows live mail on 3 computers with POP mail accounts. I set up the POP accounts andam able to receive the email into wlm o.k., but I don't want to have to manually create the storage folders and move mail messages every time i open the wlm. Is there a way to keep every thing synced so I can open WLM anywhere and see the same thing? |

| | Re: Keeping mail/folders synced with windows live on multiple computer I'm assuming that the mail services you are using don't support IMAP. IMAP is designed for multiple computers to share an account. Are the 3 computers on the same network? If so, an option is to run your own local mail server that accesses the ISP via POP3 and then provides IMAP support to your local PCs. For examples of such a programs, see: Mercury Mail Transport System http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_mercury.htm Hamster "Classic" http://www.arcorhome.de/newshamster/...amster_en.html -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Bobbi in MN" <BobbiinMN@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6DC9F46E-ECEC-4371-93CC-AA641BC916D7@xxxxxx Quote: > I am using windows live mail on 3 computers with POP mail accounts.

| | Re: Keeping mail/folders synced with windows live on multiple computer The best way to sync between multiple computers, imho, is to leave the messages on the server and use DeltaSync or WebDAV to view them. I do this with newer messages but being paranoid eventually download them all to one computer using pop3. Then I make backups from that computer. Outlook lets you have a common store folder, or it appears to. You can open your Outlook.pst file from another computer on your infranet. I don't know how safe this is... -- Earle Horton -- earleh@xxxxxx "...winston" <winstonmvp@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ukYafYFSJHA.5860@xxxxxx Attempts at synchronizing WLM by use of a common store folder and expecting different machines(each with WLM installed)to synchronize with that common store location is known to corrupt the message store, WLM message store database and may in fact produce a rash of other problems on each machine(missing messages, redundant folders in the Recovered Items folder, etc)... -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Bobbi in MN" <BobbiinMN@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6DC9F46E-ECEC-4371-93CC-AA641BC916D7@xxxxxx Quote: > I am using windows live mail on 3 computers with POP mail accounts.
