Hi, Peter. I knew about downloading while leaving messages on the server.
However, that's not very clean, because messages might get downloaded to the
secondary (laptop) computer first. If the laptop user leaves the messages on
the server, I understand that the main desktop would still be able to download
and delete those messages from the server. However, what if the laptop user
downloads a second time before the desktop user has a chance to download? In
this scenario, the laptop user will possibly have double, even triple copies of
some messages. That's not good, even though the BAT has a command for deletion
of duplicates. It's still a pain to have to deal with. No, what I would like
to do is to be able to insure that all mail gets downloaded on to one drive and
is read on that drive. I didn't ask the question, but I would also like to
insure that any mail that is composed and sent from the laptop is also stored on
the main (desktop) drive, rather than on the laptop. This way, all mail is in
one place and readily accessible.

It's me again. I cam across your e-mail when searching for something else.
I don't know about network, but you can set up BAT that it downloads the
mail, but it leaves on the server. So you can set it up that on Computer A
and you download without deleting on the server, on computer C you download
and delete. But in this case you always have to look for the messages on A
and B before C. Another alternative is you keep the mail on the server for
1 or 2 days.
This is feature is used if you want to see your messages at home, but want
to make sure you get it in your office. Go to Account | account Properties
| Mail management.
