That's what I do here without problems. The POP3 protocol does not know "already downloaded", so what I download on one PC (office) is still marked "not downloaded" when I download it on another PC (home). That's the reason why I prefer POP over IMAP, but many people disagree and your thread is about IMAP. >> Could this be rectified in the account settings while still using POP? aas> I can't find any such setting in The Bat!. If you find it, please let me know. aas> Perhaps this cannot be accomplished via POP3. :-/ I download messages via IMAP on my "smart" phone. Whatever I read there is still downloaded to the PCs (which use POP). Once downloaded by PC, they can stillbe downloaded on the phone but are marked "read". In other words, they are not shown as new, but I can still read them. So, I cannot confirm your problem. However, I have an idea what the problem might be: Account / Properties / Mail Management: Check whether you leave messages on server. If not, any mail client that retrieves the messages will also delete them from the server. Which seems to be what you are experiencing. I leave messages on the server for 14 days. This is enough time to download them onto all my devices, even though I might be travelling for a week or more. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.2 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
