Right. It's possible that this is not how the Bat is intended to operate. But I did confirm that it behaves sporadically - e.g., today downloaded a message from location A that was already downloaded from location B. Last night, it downloaded *some* (but not all) of the messages from location B that were already downloaded from A. I guess we need the developers to tell us what the behavior is *supposed* to be. Other email programs I have tried that partially implement IMAP (like the Bat) use the logic as described in my original post: messages read from one location but left on the server are downloaded when mail is checked from a different installation. But that doesn't mean the Bat developers want to do it that way. I'm new here, though...how do we ask them or submit a bug? ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
