Its suppose to mark the deleted email on the server. When the server cycles the deleted email is suppose to be removed. It's this read and deletion marks that tell the server not to send the email.

Hi Tim,

Thanks you so very much for your support. I did what you suggested.

I tried a simple test between my desktop and laptop computers and I was delighted that once I get mail that is left on the server and get mail again on the same computer, I get no new mail. That was one of my concern. When I got on my laptop, I got the email that was still on the server after I got the email on my desktop.

I have one more question. When I delete an email and remove it from the trash in Eudora, what is the indication that tells the server to delete the email? I deleted several emails in Eudora and remove it from trash and the emails appear to still be on the server.

Another question. How does Eudora knows that I already got my email the first time and not to get it again when I go to get mail?

Thanks for your suggestion. Take care.

Well, that is suppose to be how it works.
so if your using laptop and delete that email. The email should delete or show as deleted on server. When you use home computer any email not deleted should show in there mailboxes, and vise versa. When the server cycles all email marked deleted will be removed from the server.

Hi Tim,

Let me see if I understand you. After I make the change to the option, any email that I download to my laptop will remain on the server unless I delete the email in Eudora and it will be deleted from the server.

If this is true then every time that I get my email from the server I will get the same emails that I still have on the server? Otherwise I can the get my emails when I return home and have the same emails on both computers? It seems to me that I will complicate this method every time that I get my emails with the option set as you suggested.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

You might want to try tools menu, options, incoming mail.
You can leave it on server for both and get on both. Set it to delete from trash on server. When you delete from either one to the trash it will also delete from server.

Hi Brad,

The emails stays on my server unless I download them using get mail in Eudora. Besides that, I really don't like reading my emails on my server as I prefer to read them in Eudora on my computers.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

I don't use this set up but you might try using imap instead of pop email. Here's an article on it from a college server standpoint but its basically the same on any server.

Hi,

I am currently using Eudora on my XP desktop and windows7 computers. When I am away from home, I copy all my nailboxes from the desktop to my laptop using a flash disk.

Before I paste the mailboxes, I delete all the mailboxes on my laptop. I repeat the same steps when I return home and paste the mailboxes on my desktop computer. Incidentally, I also delete the TOC files too and let Eudora create new TOC files.

Is there any better and more efficient way of doing this? Using my method, I encountered some serious problems. Here are the problems.

1. I usually end up with duplicates.
2. I have recovered emails on my desktop which I previously deleted on my laptop and deleted the emails from trash. 3. When I pasted the out mailbox, it now says sendable instead of sent and I cannot change the status.

Also, I even tried to set up temporary mailboxes and just transfer only the new emails back and forth. I do not like this method since I may miss important emails.

The method that I use is very time consuming both in transferring and removing the duplicates and recovered emails. I do hope that someone on this list can help me to find a better way? Unfortunately, we cannot export and import Eudora emails. I make frequent trips with my wife to visit our daughter and I need my laptop to keep myself busy while they are doing their thing.

Any help will greatly be appreciated! I really need it. Maybe someone out there are doing the same thing?

Take care.
