My wife wanted me to set up her email account on the laptop in the
family room so she wouldn't have to go upstairs to her office PC to
see if she has any new emails.  So I set up a POP account on the
laptop. Now whenever the mail account is opened on the laptop all the
unread messages on her office PC are marked as read.  You don't even
have to click on a message on the laptop, just opening SM mail does it.

The laptop account is set to:

Check for new messages at startup
Check for new messages every 3 minutes
Automatically download new messages
Leave messages on server
     -  Until I delete them

Any idea why this is happening?  And how to prevent it?  Thanks.

If it is gmail POP account there is a setting in your account to "mark
all messages read when accessed as POP"


Thanks. It's not Gmail. I poked around and discovered that I set up her original account as IMAP on the PC and the laptop as POP. Changed the laptop to IMAP and all is well. User error corrected! :-)

A preposition must never be used to end a sentence with.
