RE: [PCTECH] Replicating E-mail?

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another option is a modified POP.

For you main system, do normal POP3 and delete messages off the server as
you download.

For your traveling systems, do NOT delete off the server till you've deleted
off the machine.  This way, if it something important, just move it to a
save folder and it will show up on the master machine.  But if you handle it
or it is junk, delete it.  That way it will NOT show up on the master.

I've been using this approach for years now and really like it.  You do have
to remember to empty your deleted items folder on the satellite machine and
do a final refresh to make it work.

Bob
