re Re-downloading all the mails, and the POP3 protocol

My suggestion:
a) on the desktop, keep the number of days you keep messages on the server relative small;

I do that already. 4 weeks = over 5,000 messages in my company account.

b) on the laptop (I guess that you have activated the option "keep ALL messages on the server") use the mailbox inspector to retrieve messages, maybe activate the option "activate mailbox inspector automatically for every retrieve".

With over 5,000 messages on the server, it is not practical to always use the mailbox inspector.

So when after working 3 weeks at home with your desktop PC, and then go on the road with the laptop, the laptop will find 3 weeks of new messages which are new to the laptop, and will download those roughly 3'750 messages.

That's correct. However, I use both machines daily. When I'm on the road during the day, I use my laptop, and when I arrive at home, I download all the messages from the day on my PC and continue working on the PC. The next morning, I turn on my laptop and download the communications that happened on PC and continue working on my laptop.

The reason I keep messages on server for 4 weeks is that I travel (I am out of the country at least once a month), and trips have taken up to 4 weeks in the past.

I want to have all messages on both machines. When a harddisk crashes (that's "when", not "if"), I can just make a backup from the other machines and restore on the new harddisk.

That's what I wanted to make you understand by my longer explanations in my previous message.

That's OK. Then I sit somewhere (usually in another country) and turn on the laptop to downloaed new messages, and TB! wants to download all messages again from the server. All I can do is wait until it has finished, the use "delete duplicates" and "compact folder". Downloading can take many hours if you are in a country with slow internet, such as Cambodia or Myanmar.

BTW, the above is also a demonstration of how foolish the quoting with nested TABLEs is):

I have no problem with TB!'s behaviour, except for the wide blue field there, which should be a small line. I usually make it thin with the mouse but left it wide here to demonstrate.
