I want to ask here again: There is one laptop in the bush, and it downloads the messages for all 20 users, and then deletes all messages on the server. All users use only this one laptop. Correct?

The smaller the units you download, the less you have to download "again" after a connection break.

Seperate accounts in TB (which you could use in cooperation with seperate POP3 boxes on the server) can have completely different profiles. If you use only one TB account, each user can have his own folder, with %From set individually. However, seperate accounts is better.

Both with seperate accounts as well as with seperate folders. The individual folders in a one-account system would be named after the user, and he can have subfolders, no problem. TT>> and they should have to login with their username/pwd at program start. OK, this is what you can do only if you have seperate accounts. You can set access passwords in the main menu under Account / Set Access Password. This will not be aksed when you open TB, but when you open the account, which is fine. This way, TB can keep running, and whoever is on the machine, opens his account, does his mail thingy, and closes it.
