FYI, I successfully copied my Winlink Express emails (and configuration) from one computer to another, today, using the following, simple procedure: ?

[email protected] | Transfer configuration and data

groups.io

(And, actually, I even skipped the part about hitting “Finish”—so I did run the program, several times, on the target machine, before I did the file-copying.)

This seemed to work fine, for a one-time transfer, if anyone else needs to do this.

There is also a way to Export existing, downloaded messages, and then Import them into a different instance of W/E (like on another machine), if you are generally wanting to keep two machines “in sync”—I think it would be painful to do this on a regular basis, but once in a while might be okay. ?This way, the configuration parameters would not be overwritten, too, like they are if the whole directory is simply copied (like I did).

Hey Bob,

Thanks for sharing your experience with this, and it's good to know it can be done with Winlink Express.

One of the headline features of PAT (my client of choice) is that the mailbox is stored in a standard file format that can be automatically synced between machines with a cloud or peer-to-peer syncing service of your choice (like Dropbox).
