Gmail and POP3

That's an email client problem, not a server problem. Some clients (I know Eudora does this, I don't know about others) can be set to check the ID for each message (using the UIDL POP command) and keep track of which IDs it's downloaded, and ignore the "has been read" flag on each mail. If your client does this, then you can use it in two locations and get the result you want.

Coding standard especially used for .NET. Variable names are composed of joined names first one starting with lowercase following capitalized. camelCaseLooksLikeThis. Of course there is also UpperCamelCase. But for .Net the first is wider used. regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

I'm using Outlook and for the other accounts that happens. Except for the Gmail one. Any extra option somewhere in Outlook that I'm not aware of? regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

Not sure, as I said I only know Eudora. *shrug* Gmail's POP might not support UIDL, if that's the case then you're SOL

You should give it a try sometimes. It's a great playground. :) regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

Of course not, the POP3 server has marked that message as delivered so will no deliver it again. If it didn't you would constantly keep recieving the same messages time and time again. The solution to this long known problem was IMAP and Exchange style mail servers
That is not the observed behaviour of my home/work email setup. I never receive messages twice at home (where I "peek"), nor do I miss any messages at work (where I "pop").

Is it possible to confugure Gmail acount so that two mail applications can receive all messages which arrive on a account? My time is shared between my home and work computer. Mail I receive in Outlook at work does not come in, on my home computer and viceversa.

Sure!:-D In Outlook Express you can, probably Outlook, as well. Under Tools/Accounts select the account and view the properties. In the Advanced tab there's a checkbox that says, "Leave a copy of messages on server." Check it on the computer that you use first - work maybe - and leave it unchecked on the other. I do that with my campus account so I can check mail there from home and work, but then I use webmail to empty the read messages. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

I have this enabled, but the emails which are downlaoded in the Outlook from the work computer are not downloaded on the Outlook from the home computer. The option to leave messages on server is selected on both of them. I want to be able to receive all my messages both on my homw and work computer. regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

I have the opposite problem. I have dialup at home and occasionally someone sends me their entire photo album and my connection times out. I have tried to go online from work and deleted the file and it still tries to download that file. It must get stuck in a queue somewhere. The only solution I've found is to read all the email on line, and set the options to only send emails from this date forward. I sure wish gmail had a flush button.

Does the mail server support IMAP4 as well as POP3 - that properly supports online reading of mail (the messages stay in the mailbox rather than getting downloaded to your mail client, so you can read them anywhere, and if you use a decent IMAP client [like thunderbird] it'll automatically save your sent mail to the IMAP sent mail folder too, so you can even re-read your sent mail if you need to) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

I do this by forwarding all mail from GMail to my work email account. You might also be able to change the 'When messages are accessed with POP' setting in GMail to Keep copy in the inbox rather than Archive or Delete

Of course not, you can tell POP3 to leave the message on the server and unmarked. As Jorgen said, peeking. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.
