[blindeudora] Temporarily moving mailboxes between 2 computers

Hi,

I am currently using Eudora on my XP desktop and windows7 computers. When I am away from home, I copy all my nailboxes from the desktop to my laptop using a flash disk.

Before I paste the mailboxes, I delete all the mailboxes on my laptop. I repeat the same steps when I return home and paste the mailboxes on my desktop computer. Incidentally, I also delete the TOC files too and let Eudora create new TOC files.

Is there any better and more efficient way of doing this? Using my method, I encountered some serious problems. Here are the problems.

1. I usually end up with duplicates.
2. I have recovered emails on my desktop which I previously deleted on my laptop and deleted the emails from trash. 3. When I pasted the out mailbox, it now says sendable instead of sent and I cannot change the status.

Also, I even tried to set up temporary mailboxes and just transfer only the new emails back and forth. I do not like this method since I may miss important emails.

The method that I use is very time consuming both in transferring and removing the duplicates and recovered emails. I do hope that someone on this list can help me to find a better way? Unfortunately, we cannot export and import Eudora emails. I make frequent trips with my wife to visit our daughter and I need my laptop to keep myself busy while they are doing their thing.

Any help will greatly be appreciated! I really need it. Maybe someone out there are doing the same thing?

Take care.

ly Lennie
