<p>This is an advanced feature. When “<span class="quote">Remote Configuration</span>” is enabled, an IMAP
or an <a class="link" href="smap1.html" title="Appendix A. Simple Mail Access Protocol, Version 1" shape="rect">SMAP</a> folder on a remote folder keeps a copy of
<span class="application">Cone</span>'s configuration. This
allows <span class="application">Cone</span>'s configuration to
be accessed from multiple systems. An otherwise empty IMAP/SMAP
folder must be reserved for this purpose. Highlight the folder
with the cursor on the folder listing screen, then press
<span class="keycap"><strong>U</strong></span> then
<span class="keycap"><strong>R</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Answer <span class="keycap"><strong>N</strong></span> to the
“<span class="quote">Import remote
configuration</span>” question, and <span class="application">Cone</span> will save its configuration to the
remote folder, and automatically update the saved
configuration, when needed.</p>
<p>Repeat the process by running <span class="application">Cone</span> on another system, and answer
<span class="keycap"><strong>Y</strong></span> to this question
to import the previously saved configuration in this folder.
<span class="application">Cone</span> imports and reads the
saved configuration, and will also automatically udpate the
saved copy, when needed.</p>
<p>Although this feature allows the same configuration to be
accessed from multiple locations, only one instance of
<span class="application">Cone</span> should be running at any
given time and using the same remote configuration folder.
Random errors will be reported if multiple instances of
<span class="application">Cone</span> try to open the same
remote configuration folder, and the IMAP/SMAP server does not
allow the same folder to be opened by two or more clients. Even
if the server allows multiple access, <span class="application">Cone</span> configuration will keep getting
overwritten by the other <span class="application">Cone</span>'s saved configuration, leading to
unpredictable results.</p>

<p>Not all configuration information will be saved remotely.
When remote configuration is enabled, the following
configuration will be saved in the remote configuration
folder:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>Location and login information for remote accounts
(IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and NetNews). Location of local mail
accounts is not saved. It doesn't make much sense to
share location of local mailboxes between different
systems.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Customized headers, E-mail addresses, special
folders, and folder sort order.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The following configuration information will not be saved
remotely:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>Location of local mail accounts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Cached data, including newsgroup subscription
information. The configuration and login information of
NetNews accounts is saved remotely, however the
available newsgroup list, subscription information, and
list of read and unread articles is not saved. The
<code class="filename">newsrc</code> configuration
file, which contains all that, can be quite big, and
its not feasible to save it remotely.</p>
