I will work on moving to the bb once I know it better and feel I can "trust
it". For now, I have a workaround ... my one POP account is now an IMAP,
with its own .pst file. I can set up rules so that it moves everything from
the inbox into my original .pst file, so then I have both my IMAP and my
other POP account inmail all in one box. As I reply from there, all my
replies made on the laptop end up in the same sent folder. The only thing I
haven't been able to figure out rules for yet is how to automatically move
replies I made on my bb from the IMAP sent folder to the sent folder in my
original .pst file. May have to do that manually occasionally, but as long
as I have them I can do that every once in a while until I figure out another
solution.

Thank you for your help.
