Thanks for your comments. I still maintain however that a synch facility should recognise changes in all folders an merge them into an up-to-date message base. Therefor if I log on to my PC and send a couple of Emails at 9am and later in the day log on to Voyager and send anothet couple, and tidy up some folders while travelling, then on my return home the synch utility should recognise the time stamps on all activity and generate an up-to-date message base on both The Bat and Voyager.
I use Voyager as it allows me EMail access while travelling with or without my laptop. I can recommend Corsair's Flash Voyager GT as the best memory stick in my experience.

I guess syncronisation syncs messages that are missing in the other message base, without taking care what has been deleted. If a message has been deleted from the laptop but is present on the desktop, it's considered missing and the sync procedure should restore it to the laptop.  
So you seem to need a one-way sync.

The simplest one-way sync between two Bats is to just copy the entire mail folder from one PC (where you last used the program) to the other, when theBat is closed. However I have never tried that between Bat & Voyager.
If it's your own laptop, why you are using Voyager on it and not theBat ?

I use The Bat on my office PC and Voyager on my laptop. When away from the office for a few days , and only then, I have time to tidy up the hundreds of folders and update the address books.
When I DELIBERATELY delete messages from a folder and/or edit address books and then synchronise the laptop and the PC on my return home, the deleted messages are restored!!!
Surely two-way synchronisation should handle ALL message base changes and consider them to have been deliberate and therefor legitimate for syncronisation - including additions, deletions alterations.

Shouldn't syncronisation synch two systems assuming that the integrity of each is valid.

If deletions etc are made in error - then that why we have a Backup/Restore strategy - to repair unintentional mistakes or hardware malfunctions.

It looks to me that your Synch function is child of Backup & Restore and not a true synchronisation function as commomly understood.

I'd like to hear your comments.

By the way, Voyager V4 is a huge improvement on previous versions - well done!! I'm back to being an enthusiastic supporter of The Bat.
