Not quite. It would also require all other computers that access that account to also leave the mail on the server, perhaps deleting it after so many days. If you don't do this then another computer would download the mail and delete it and the twix computer will not receive all messages to twix. You should also ensure the mail account settings on the twix machine are set not to delete messages from the server when they are deleted from the computer. If there is a 3rd party server receiving mail to the domain then it would be better to set the server up to have a separate account for the twix mail. The twix machine would then not have to do all this, other than downloading the mail. -- Matthew Smith -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
