Thanks for that Paul.

I found if I issue two Rsync commands one after another using the -u option but swap the destination and source in the 2nd command then it does what I want!

The application I'm using is Thunderbird and I use it to Rsync my imapMail folder from two different PCs using the same imap message filters, etc.
:-))

I'll look into Unison as I've not heard of this before.

Many thanks for the pointers.
