hi, new here so please excuse me, here is what (until last week) I had setup.
2 pc's 1 hotmail email account, 1 pc setup using pop3 (leaving a copy on the server) & 1 pc using imap.
The pop3 pc receives and sends fine, if an email was read or deleted etc it does not change the status of the email on the 2nd pc using imap & vice versa, this was perfect for me so my staff could read an email without it being marked as read on my pc. Now for some reason this has changed, as soon as the email is downloaded on the pop3 pc (even being unread) the same message is still downloaded to the imap pc but is automatically marked as read, now I'm missing emails when this never used to happen, the only thing that has changed (forced by MS) the imap on the 2nd pc gets locked out by MS who force you to then use Microsoft exchange server, so why is the pop3 now in control???!
Can anyone tell me how to fix this or what I should do to have the same emails on separate pc's without them syncing read, deleted etc thank you
Andy
