I just got a laptop and I want to be able to use OE on both my laptop and my desktop, but... right now, if I send an e-mail from my laptop, I can't review it when I'm on my desktop later, and visa versa. Is there a way I can syncronize these so I have like, mirror copies of OE on both computer?

Here are a few reccomendations.

If your mail server is an IMAP server, you can create folders that stay on ther server. Just set OLEXP to leave messages on the server.

You can share the OLEXP store directory on your laptop, and set the desktop to use this directory as its OLEXP store directory. Only thing is, you'll have to kepp your laptop on.

Thanks for the suggestions... I think I'll share the folder on my desktop so I don't have to keep my laptop on all the time... desktop is on all the time anyway.
