I use a program called 'unison' to syncronize my laptop homedir and my desktop homedir. Making a program to syncronize maildirs is about 20 lines of perl. (have each maildir contain a file called 'directory' that records all files in that maildir as of the last syncronization, then compare each maildir to its directory. If a file has been removed, send a 'remove' command to the peer. If a file has been added, send a 'add' command to the peer. ) Scott
