Assuming the two machines are on the same LAN, and updating /mail from e.g. laptop to desktop: E.g. (on laptop): rsync -avx --delete /home/user/mail/ desktop:/home/user/mail (Note the trailing "/" after the first "/mail". Important (otherwise it will add a new /mail directory into the target /mail directory!). If /mail is in maildir format, rsync will only send those message files that are different (to replace) or new. --delete will remove files on desktop that are not in the sending /mail. Perhaps the first time you try it, you might want to hide the existing desktop's /mail somewhere safe! N.B. Your /mail may be in a different place in /home. Mine is ~/mail. Good hunting... -- /\/\aurice _______________________________________________ KDE PIM users mailing list Subscription management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users
