Well, I guess it depend on locking and rewrite policies. Open folder in two mutts. Delete a few in one, read few other. Delete some others in the second mutt, read some more. Sync each. Unless the two mutts have some psychic connection to each other, aren't "new" and "read" flags going to get dropped? Aren't items deleted on one side going to survive if the other side is synched second? -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Dawn, V8, miles, breakfast, miles, gas, miles, miles, gas, miles, miles, milkshake, miles, shop, miles, park, M and G, happy hour, freeze-dried dinner, journals, bunk, dawn, miles, miles, ...
