That depends on how she is getting the mail. If she is using IMAP, then you can just set up a folder and it will work just like yours does since everything remains on the server with IMAP. If she is using POP3, then you'll have to get more creative. I would be tempted to create a folder for her to use and then add a script to cron to copy the emails over to the server on a regular basis so they can be learned. -- Bowie
