Turn missing folder error off

try to map remote folders as drives,like map
\\pc2\theBat\Mail\someAccount\ as drive X
In theBat, instead of specifying
\\pc2\theBat\Mail\someAccount\ as home dir for the acount, use X:\
Now make a script (.vbs, .wsh or even .bat) that will do something like
- delete mapping for drive X
- if pc2 is online, map X to \\pc2\theBat\Mail\someAccount\, otherwise map X to a dummy (but existing) local folder. The dummy folder may even contain some TB config files
- run theBat - it will now look for the remote folder if that PC is online, otherwise for the dummy local folder

You can set & delete drive mappings with the SUBST command.
Mappings created with SUBST are not permanent, they are lost after a reboot (and probably even after logoff)
