Interesting... One more suggestion: when downloading new messages for the first time on one machine using the dispatcher, make sure to select only "Receive", deselect "Read" and everything else. Then check if the messages are visible on the second machine.

Checking the Receive box for each message should force them to be downloaded again.

Over time, many POP3-users who need to download the same messages to multiple devices (which only works if the one 'deleting' device is consistently used last) have switched to IMAP. Maybe that's an option for your client as well.

Thank you Daniel for the link. As far as I can tell my client doesn't want to switch to IMAP.

My client uses two computers to access his email, both running The Bat. Until recently, his email provider was Zimbra. When using The Bat in POP3 mode on both computers, the same emails were downloaded on each. And it worked like a charm for years.

However, after a ransomware attack forced him to switch to Gmail, this behavior changed. Now, emails downloaded on computer #1 using POP3 are not downloaded on computer #2, and they appear as read on the Gmail server.
Is this the reason they aren't downloaded?
Is there a way to ensure all emails are downloaded regardless of their read status on the Gmail server?
