message status
I am using a Mac OS 10.3.x for a mail server (only about 25 clients). I used an application called Postfix Enabler to start the mail service. Postfix Enabler starts Postfix and loads the 2004 UW/IMAP release for pop3 and imap. All works well. My problem is with message status. Most of the clients check there mail on more than one machine, usually at work, then at home. Is there a way to make a message show as new when it is downloaded, no matter how many different computers it is downloaded to? Thanks for any help, Jim -- -- -- For information about this mailing list, and its archives, see: http://www.washington.edu/imap/c-client-list.html --

Hello All: I have installed the postfix enabler on a Mac G5 OS 10.3.5. The postfix enabler uses the UW-IMAP for imap and pop3 services. I would like to know if I can make a change so that a message will show as unread when downloaded to more than one computer. I download my email at work and at home and I would like it to show as unread at both locations. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Re: message status
James and all, I will try to explain this after the best of my knowledge. The read/unread flags are set on the server in the imap case. In the pop3 scenario most clients stores a copy locally and removes the new ones from the server. It is possible to retrieve messages from the pop3 server without having to delete them and most clients support this. To accomplish a read/unread flag in a client in the latter case is client side implementation dependant. So in both cases it would be possible to achieve the behaviour you're after. However, this is something that has to be done in the software client using the uw-client library routines. -- Niklas Fondberg Development Manager, User Interfaces James Medley wrote: Hello All: I have installed the postfix enabler on a Mac G5 OS 10.3.5.
