Well, this also depends on how your system is supposed to scale, but if you are planning to do more than just 10 mail accounts: Don't use coda for it. Maybe coda has changed A LOT in the last couple of weeks and I am dead wrong, but as far as I had a look on it regarding data snychronisation, going there is waste of time because: * coda is slow * coda cannot handle huge data stores - remember that coda keeps all structures is one (!) file If you want to do software data synchronisation, I recommend rsync (not very fast, but usable) or intermezzo (still buggy, but getty better and better). I think intermezzo is definitely the future but needs some more testing. Regards, Birger
