When I was on vacation, I used a laptop to send and receive e-mail. I told TBird not to delete incoming mail from the server, so I was able to retrieve it later onto my home desktop system. But the mail I sent out is only on the laptop; is there a way to copy selected sent messages from the laptop to the desktop's Sent folder?

hold CTRL while you click to multiple select the messages. drag them to a USB key/drive. Sneakernet the key to the next machine and reverse the process. Dragging the files to the send folder.

Thanks! To clarify (I'm a little slow this morning):

- I would open both Windows Explorer and TBird side by side on the laptop; 
- copy each sent message from TB to Explorer (say a thumb drive), which saves it as an .eml file there;
- plug the thumb drive into the desktop system;
- copy each .eml file from Explorer to the Sent folder there.

Does that sound right?
