Sounds like the way I've got my account set up. Here's how I do it. The laptop connects to the LAN at work so I've got Netscape set up to use that instead of dialing up. Messenger is set up identically to the way it is at home, with one important difference; messages are not deleted from the server after download. What this means in practice is that I can download and read all my mail from work. Messages I delete on the laptop are also deleted from the server. Messages that I leave in folders or in my Inbox, remain on the server so I can download them again from home and store them as normal. To set this up you need to go to: Edit -> Preferences... -> Mail Servers In the 'Incoming Mail Servers' window, highlight the one you want to use (if you have more than one), then Click Edit. Select the POP tab. Select 'Leave messages on server'. Click Ok and Ok. That should be it. I do this under Windows by the way (not fully Linuxed yet). From what I've seen Netscape is the same on both platforms so this should work for you too. If I can help further.... Lance
