They are using POP3 and have outlook set to leave messages on the server. Is it possible that Outlook got confused with the mail server change and now somehow can not figure out that it's downloaded emial that's have already been downloaded?



Hi Warrick,

seen information is saved at server side for imap and pop3, too.
If you have moved the server sided pop3 mailboxes using a mailclient
tool, this information might have changed, so they have the status "not
seen" and outlook behaves right. If you have moved them at filesystem
level their status should not have changed and outlook misbehaves.

Hi Sascha,

Thanks for the response, but that doesn't make sense (to my feeble mind anyway ;-) ).

Let's say you have two POP3 clients one set to leave mail on the server for a week and one set to leave mail on the server for a day.

If the one that's leaving thing on the server for a week pick's up mail, the other is not effected in any way .. and you're messages are not marked as seen in any way. Are you sure POP3 has seen state on the server?

Sorry, I'm sure you know a lot more about this than I do but I'm just trying to understand.

Thanks again
Warrick
