Re: Migration Problems from OE (Windows XP)
Sorry, the sync between my computer and the server in either direction is
confusing and I need you to clarify your last two sentences for item 1:

1-a) When do changes made to my contacts on WL on the server are being
synchronized with the WLM/WLMessenger database on my computer? Is it done
automatically or do I need to click on either sync or import?

1-b) When does the sync happen in the opposite direction (from my computer
to the WL server)? And again, do I need to click on sync or export?

1-c) The exports you recommend for backup purposes, are they to be done
manually from WLM to the server? Isn’t there any automatic sync in that
direction (from my computer to the server)?
