Diane, thanks for these links. I’d never been clear on the differences before.

I have my own website, and I have set up all the emails to be POP, but to not delete for 30 days. If I’m on a 12-day road trip, traveling with my PB G4 10.2.6, I’m able to get all my mail and not have to worry about the hassle of re-syncing with my 933Mhz 10.2.6 machine when I get back home, since all that email will also be downloadable again. The only thing I like to transfer over (from Powerbook to 933) is my Replies.

My question: how does the whole system know what emails have been downloaded on a particular computer? For instance, if I receive an email right now, and completely delete it (actually delete it from the Delete folder), it won’t download again when I retrieve messages a minute later. In other words, it doesn’t seem that Entourage can’t check to first see if each email exists at a particular computer.

A second related question: if you did completely delete an important email (with the above 30-day setup), how would you go about getting a second copy? Would you need to go online to your website and manually grab it, or is there a way to do it through Entourage?
