For Google hosted mail, how about you use IMAP instead of POP3.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/10/21 Odhiambo Washington <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com">odhiambo@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I am having a hard time having these two &quot;giants&quot; to co-exist! Not me, really, but a colleague:<br><br>Scenario:<br>
<br>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<br>

2. On each giant, the Mail App has the account configured to &quot;leave mail on the server for N days&quot;<br>3. On the Go-ogle server, the account settings have been modified to &quot;NOT&quot; move the e-mail into Archive (which is usually the default). So mail remains in the Inbox<br>


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.<br>    (a) if MacBook POPs first, the iPad will not get the same e-mail, or<br>    (b) if iPad POPs first, the other giant will not get the same e-mail.<br>


5. I am 100% sure I have configured the two giants right, plus the Go-ogle settings, and this is how I expect &quot;leave messages on the server to work&quot;.<br><br>Can anyone &quot;see&quot; what I am missing?<br clear="all">
