The only thing to remember is that any change to the primary account will
have to be copied/merged into the registry of the cloned machine to keep
everything happy. Other than that, it works quite well. Good luck.

Also, another trick that works for many is just to set both accounts to
leave a copy of messages on the server (deleting them after 'xx' days so
they don't accumulate) and then just download them to both machine on a
regular basis. (Tools/Accounts - Mail tab, double click the desired
account, look on the Advanced tab at the bottom of the page.)

Well, cloning (same identity on two machines) is not that difficult. Did
you even read how to do it at the website I posted? There are only 4
keys involved that need to exported. If you're unwilling to do it, then
I don't know of another way that would work.

thanks Jim but I am only using the laptop I don't use A desktop machine
as well I have tried using a file to transfer the messages to but it
doesn't work that well.
I have to keep transferring messages back & forth constantly as I can be
connected to the domain for 2hrs in the morning then go on site then
back on the domain
so I have to keep transferring messages both ways 3 or 4 times a day.
What I need to do is be able to use the same identity when I am
connected to the domain or standalone on site ,most of my messages are
cad drawings or pictures which I need to be able to access all the time
for working on & sending back to clients

The only way to do that is to make the laptop a "clone" of the Desktop
machine. For how to clone Outlook Express on two machines, see the
info at this link:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/bu_full.htm

And, any changes to the Desktop setup, such as adding/deleting local
folders, or adding/deleting a newsgroup subscription will require a
"Re-cloning" of the laptop. It's not too much work but it can become a
PITA trying to keep two machines in sync. Do you really have to do
this? Why not just copy the desired messages to a Transfer folder for
this purpose? If you want to try that, see the info in the last
paragraph at this link for details:

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
Thanks.
