I have been using Netscape Messenger for email for some time. It has served me well.
I now need to move to a system by which I can see the same email from two different PCs. Sounds like a simple thing but I have a feeling this is going to entail a huge learning curve and maybe even moving to a different email system.
Tick the box that says 'leave messages on server' in Nestcape email options (also delete deleted mail on server if you have it). Then you can access the same mail from as many clients as you like (with the same settings as shown above). Peter -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Interesting that it took a while for someone to suggest the lowest tech solution of all! Not that I'm complaining, as I think procmail, fetchmail et al are in my very near future. : ) I was doing what you suggested but, for a reason unbeknownst to me, one machine is not playing nice in the sandbox: Even though I have the setting you suggest (along with 'when deleting a message locally, remove it from the server') the mail does stay on the server, but the same mail keeps loading over and over. So, I get multiple copies of the same mail. No problem with my other computer - it's Netscape leaves mail on the server until I delete it locally (i.e. empth Trash). I'll try check my settings on both PCs yet again. Then I'll test them both by downloading, deleting, emptying Trash folder and see if the mail is removed from the server.
