| Author/Date | Are data files interchangeable between Linux and Windows? |
| Mike 31/03/2003 4:50pm | I already have the Windows version of iScribe running on my PC. I just installed Linux this afternoon, and I thought I would try out IScribe with it (Mandrake 9.1). Can I just use my existing data files or do I need to take a copy of them?
Thanks |
| fReT 31/03/2003 5:24pm | The Scribe.r and Folders.mail files are the two important data files Scribe uses and can be read/written to by either version.
That is the point of having the same software on both OS's so that you can use the one mail store. I store the folders on a FAT32 partition so that both Windows and Linux can read/write the file. However at the moment I'm not sharing the settings file 'scribe.r' because I'm still testing and I have different options set for testing. i.e. "Leave mail on server" ;) |
