Since Netscape, I have used copy and xcopy to backup profiles and

I also had Win and OS/2 use the same profile and data files. I kept
them on FAT32 so both Win and OS/2 could access them.
Similarly. I dual boot Win7 and Linux, and use the one set of profile
and data files for my SeaMonkey Suite situated on my Win7 G:\ drive.
Noting FRG's cautions about sharing profiles...
Even if doing this kind of thing is technically possible, I'm assuming
that you're using POP, and in that, really pushing beyond the design
expectations of what POP can (or even should) do.
The better approach is to use IMAP, where all your mail traffic is on a
server, and not stored locally. With IMAP, it doesn't matter what
computer, what platform or what profile you're using.

Yeap, I also have a freebie Yahoo.com account which I think is IMAP.
One day, I'll get around to downloading the saved mail from that account
onto my hard drive! ;-P
