While IMAP is doubtless the best answer, sometimes it's just not available -- many e-mail providers are still POP-only, or IMAP is a premium option. I hope with users discovering that Gmail offers free IMAP, that scenario will improve. But right now... A workaround is to set up both computers to keep the messages in the POP mailbox for a few days. That way, both can download the messages before it being erased. It works very well for non-simultaneously-used computers (say, one at home and one at the office), but some servers get confused if both computers try to access the account at the same time. Though I have never ran into that problem, even in a company where eight people accessed the same mailbox, so I guess newer servers can handle it. OTOH, I have ran into a ISP that ignored the "keep messages in the mailbox after downloading" option -- no matter how you set your client up, after downloading your messages were deleted. I talked to their support, and that behavior was by design. So the POP-workaround is not guaranteed to work in all cases either. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
