No, you said you were accessing the account via POP3, which is not the same thing. The same server can be accessed by multiple protocols and you could be using something different from another client, which is why I asked. > Paralleling: I have Outlook running at my office and on my laptop.

I was interested in whether these clients are active simultaneously or whether you shut down one before starting another.

With IMAP, the server itself remembers if a message has been seen or not. > I'm a little uneasy about letting Evo have first go at the server. I don't > want to lose any more messages.

Also make sure the Search box is empty. If none of that works, I suggest you log Evo's activity. Run from the command line using: CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution >& /tmp/camel.out (see http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml) Check the log file to see if messages are actually being downloaded. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
