There is no way to flag the message **ON THE SERVER** as being read by 'A' but not 'B'. It is only read or not read, period. I have this problem occasionally. What I do is just forward the applicable message to myself and so then it is back on the server to be picked up at the other system when it gets mail. Another possibility is to read all the messages from 'A', but leave a copy on the server. Go back and delete those that are not needed on the other system. DO the same on 'B'. But that seems like more work to me. But YMMV. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
