Roger,

One question.  What you've outlined sounds very good except for one thing
(possibly).  Let's say I check with computer A and read my messages and then
check with computer B and read the same messages.  Now let's say that I
check with computer A again the next day.  Won't I see the original emails
on the server still (and hence, my mail program will pull them off of the
server again)?

Also, is this solution for MS Outlook?  Not all programs have the options
you outline.  For instance, I use Outlook Express on one of my computers and
OE does not have the option to leave the emails on the server (at least not
that I've been able to find).

Sincerely,
