Mike, I don't see a problem with this, in fact, isn't it the entire point of IMap? I mean, if it were going to be a problem moving your mail around with message filters, then what about deleting a message. Wouldn't that cause a hassel, since you're essentially moving it from the inbox to your

Hi, Mike. To answer your question, I don't think there should be any issue at all so long as you don't have both systems set up to receive and organize the mail at a specific time schedule. That is, so long as the systems are receiving mail and organizing it on command rather than, perhaps,

Hi, Aman, Long time, no talk. Great hearing from you! Truth be told, I never have a scheduled time for having my systems pick up mail asside from the fact that whenever my email client is open, it'll grab the mail every five minutes or so. So in the spirit of embarking on an adventure, I'll

It probably won't break anything. You just run the risk that a rule that works 90% of the time one way on one computer might work 10% differently on another. Maybe your PC program must search "all mail fields" when filtering, and the Mac will only filter on specific fields, so the rule won't alw

Uh, actually, that's pretty cheap. Most of the 256GB drives cost about $800. and those are all the crappy and slow MLC type drives. The nicer SLC drives don't even come in capacities that high, I think. I've seen a 64GB SLC drive for $800, for example. So, if you see a 256GB MLC drive for $350,
