Sort of. You can drag-and-drop between folders on different accounts with T'Bird. I usually move from one account to another with this, just as I'd move from my INBOX to another folder. But if you want a copy left behind and make it all symmetrical, then you have to pay more attention. If this were me I'd work out a system of folders. Buy sync in the way that rsync checks for updates and does a two-way "mirror", no I can't think of one other than using rsync on two systems that use MailDir or some of the itneral features of late model Dovecot, neither of which are going to be available to you if you are using gmail. -- "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence." -- Napoleon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Perhaps you could use a filter to copy the messages. You can create a filter that acts on all messages and one of the functions available is copy. You just have to specify the destination. If you simply want to move all mail to GMail, you can configure it to pull the messages from your ISP. You can also configure the filter to move messages over a specified age. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
