Definitely. IMAP is not designed to support multiclient coherence in this sense, i.e. the first Evo instance to filter the message will implicitly mark it as "seen" (i.e. not new) so the second instance will ignore it. The only solution is to close your office session (or go offline) when you go home, and vice versa. poc PS This of course also applies to any other clients that might be reading your IMAP store. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
