If you want to stick with POP3... On your main machine, set Mail to leave messages on the POP3 server for about 30 days. On the other machine, set Mail to leave messages on the POP3 server forever. So... On the other machine, it will happily grab messages it hasnt seen before. On the main machine it will do the same, plus delete old stuff. Of course, this won't sync your outgoing messages.... but it does ok. Another soln, that my housemate uses... Only do mail from the web interface on your other machine. That way nothing is ever lost or deleted. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
