I am having a hard time having these two "giants" to co-exist! Not me, really, but a colleague: Scenario: 1. MacBook Pro and iPad both have 3 e-mail (POP3) accounts configured on them. Two accounts are hosted by Google. The other by AFOL 2. On each giant, the Mail App has the account configured to "leave mail on the server for N days" 3. On the Go-ogle server, the account settings have been modified to "NOT" move the e-mail into Archive (which is usually the default). So mail remains in the Inbox 4. Now, if you single out one of the mail accounts hosted by the Go-ogle guys and send e-mail to it, the drama begins. (a) if MacBook POPs first, the iPad will not get the same e-mail, or (b) if iPad POPs first, the other giant will not get the same e-mail. 5. I am 100% sure I have configured the two giants right, plus the Go-ogle settings, and this is how I expect "leave messages on the server to work". Can anyone "see" what I am missing? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
