Simply set both machines to "leave mail on the server". Whether

are pop or imap will not matter. Each machine will look like it is

only machine accessing email.
Forget server settings etc.
I have done this for several years with my mac at work and home.
Works
perfectly.

That's fine as far as it goes, but all of this only addresses the
Inbox, nothing else. What about the messages I've sent? What about the
messages I've filed away in specific sub-folders that I've created for
organizations I am part of, or for messages from my family, or
whatever? Without a great deal of manual intervention, or unless I can
get this question resolved, those will only be on machine #1 and never
on machine #2. That's what I'm trying to deal with. And I'm sorry you
feel this has "gone on far too long." You can stop reading anytime, I
won't mind. Bill
