There is a built-in synchronisation feature (see Tools->Synchronise...). However, it's very complicated and involves several steps using identical interfaces on both clients so it's very difficult not to lose your place and screw the whole thing up. What's worse, if you try to use Voyager when travelling (presumably the whole point of it) across timezones, the timestamps on emails will be different, so synching will leave you with duplicates of every message in The Bat!, and the 'Delete Duplicates' function won't work. The only solution is to find and delete these duplicates manually, which is great fun if you have thousands of messages Ritlabs really need to work on a one-click synch that works properly, if Voyager is to be of any real use.

If I correctly remember, Voyager can only use encrypted message bases. If so, theBat on the PC should also be configured to use encrypted message bases, with the same password - otherwise files will not be interchangable.

Actually, The Bat's mail base doesn't need to be encrypted to work with Voyager. However, as Voyager is meant to be run from a USB key, only its local mail base is encrypted and requires a password.

To sync PC installation with USB installation, you should copy message bases from one (the last used) to the other.

So is it possiblle to use it simultaneously?
So I can use my mails on the computer and if I go out of office the mails go with me and are still availible on the computer?
When I come back and connect the USB, then The Bat and The Voyager synchronize....

Basically Voyager is the same program as TB, with the difference that it's intended to be used from a USB-stick or something similar.

Hi,

can someone tell me what is the practical use for The Voyager?
I am using The Bat 4.0.38. Is it an extension of The Bat or is it an independent program.
Will I be able to use it together with The Bat.

I am afraid to install it, due I have about 6GB of mails and do not want to lose anything or similar.
