the issue i have with downloading emails or news postings before reading them is that i move betweem machines quite a lot and whatever is local, i have to re-download on each one; that's the reason why i asked for an online alternative in the first place.
FWIW, with thunderbid you have it store all email/newsgroup post/contacts, etc... in any folder you like, which can be for instance in a pen drive. Then you just need to configure all your thunderbird's to use the profile folder on the pendrive. I don't recall the exact command-line syntax so you better look it up, but it's something like: thunderbird /profile:\pen-drive-mount\user\whatever_profile_folder HTH -- --- Fernando Cacciola SciSoft Consulting, Founder http://www.scisoft-consulting.com
