Thanks, Timo.  Maybe I misunderstood then that Dsync will only add or 
remove the changed email items on the remote server?  Basically we're 
just trying to keep the mailboxes stored and backed up on the remote 
server, without having to transfer 26 GB every night.  We're using 
version 2.0.14 right now.  So we'd need 2.1 to do that?

It seems that this is still the case, is there anything on the horizon for this to change?
