OK thanks for the tips Big One. I'll mess around some more and see which one works out the best.

theBat on your tabletPC is set properly, it gets messages that are new to it.

The easiest is to set your desktop installation to delete messages from server, and tablet installation to leave them (or before going somewhere with the tabletPC, download all messages to your desktop and then manually delete everything from server)

I don't see other way, except maybe some tweaking of your mail server - so that it doesn't automatically provide for pop3 download messages already retrieved once via pop3.

Or you can transfer from Desktop -> Tablet the files from theBat desktop installation which keep which messages were downloaded - but not sure which file keeps this info. It should be in the account folder.

=======
BTW CTRL+M should work. Note that when applied to an entire account, the default answer of the prompt is No - you should click Yes, not just press Enter.

Thanks bigg one.
I'm not sure how to mark the account though.
If I just select the account I can't do the CTRL-M thing. But this still wouldn't be efficient as I have more than 10 accounts.

2. From theBat, I think this can only be done per folder. To delete everything at once, you may put a .bat file like this

del /f /s /q *.tbb del /f /s /q *.tbi

 OK thanks.
Maybe all this marking read/deleting can be avoided altogether.

Here's my situation.
My desktop reads all the messages and leaves them on the server for three days, for safe-keeping.

My 2nd computer (tablet PC) obviously isn't set up properly because it's downloading the same messages I already read on my desktop.

As you can see, there would be tons of messages that would be un-read in each account, as I wouldn't want to read them a second time.

So basically I would just like to download messages
that are NEW, but still leave them on the server so my desktop can download them later on.

Is this possible with The Bat?

TIA

1. Mark the account (not a folder under it) in the account tree, then press CTRL+M.
You can also do this per folder, if a folder is selected.

2. From theBat, I think this can only be done per folder.
To delete everything at once, you may put a .bat file like this

::----------------------
del /f /s /q *.tbb
del /f /s /q *.tbi
::----------------------

inside the account folder, and run it (when theBat is closed). It will wipe all the message bases, theBat should create new empty ones when started.
Make sure to put the file in the account folder, not in mail folder (or specify paths before *.tbb & *.tbi)

Is there are way to:

1. Mark all messages as read in all folders with one command/click?

2. Delete all messages in all folders with one command/click?
