FYI, I have created Thundercat, a .NET 2.0/Mono 1.9 application to synchronize mbox mail files. Thundercat is heavily tested with Thunderbird mail files and is freely available from: http://thundercat.dpant.com. The website contains all technical information, too.

Please feel free to try Thundercat out and let me know of any shortcomings / bugs.

Thank you very much.

This looks like a very neat solution and will meet my needs perfectly. Not revolutionary or groundbreaking? It’s a pretty creative use of available resources – and can’t be emulated in Outlook – at least I can’t find a way to automatically bcc an address! So I’ll give Thunderbird a go… Thanks!

Two reasons behind that actually.

1.) This is my Yahoo work email so Gmail wouldn’t work. Yahoo mail would sorta work, but it doesn’t support subfolders (neither does Gmail) and I have a very rigidly designed mail organization system.

2.) I wanted to be able to read my mail even when I didn’t have an internet connection (like when I am on a plane).

Why not using webmail like gmail or yahoo mail. You don’t have to synchronise at all
