Sure, that keeps the message base available on both computers. But it also means that you have to plough through all incoming messages twice as they are downloaded to the other computer as "unread". Isn't that annoying? On IMAP: I've just found out that it is an option after all - it wasn't last time I looked. But with my volume of mail, and rather limited email quota on the server (20MB last time I looked), it is not feasible to keep the message base on the server. Does IMAP allow me to download all messages to both computers but flagged as "read" if already dealt with on the other? -- Regards, Günter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!
