RE: Replicating E-mail?

 >> POP will always download your email, IMAP always keeps it on the server.

Yes it will download it - but the issue is whether having downloaded it it
also deletes it.  In most mail clients (and certainly in Outlook as I do it
all the time) you set when the mail is deleted from the server.  On the
account that I replicate my laptop is set to download but never delete.  On
my master machine in the office it is set to delete from the server when the
mail is deleted from the Deleted Items folder.

If you find that Thunderbird really does do mail replication, please let us
know as it is a feature I can use.  I rather doubt that it has the
capability though.
