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> <div class="section" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div> <h4 class="title"><a id="id528612" shape="rect" name="id528612"> </a>Saved settings</h4> </div> </div> </div> <p>Not all configuration information will be saved remotely.
