Retrieve Previously View Messages in Apple Mail

Hello, thank you for your help. I seem to be having problem downloading old messages from my pop mail server in Apple Mail. I have two computers that connect to the same POP account, download messages, and leave them on the server so the other computer can download them as well. Both of these computers are PCs running MS Outlook.

After getting a new Powerbook, I have tried to set it up to download e-mail from this account as well. At first I was not able to receive any messages at all, but after some testing I was able to determine that Apple Mail was only downloading messages which had not been previously downloaded by the other computers.

I know ideally I would be using an IMAP connection for this type of setup, but my server does not offer that as an option. Is there any way to set up Apple Mail to download messages that have been marked as read on the server, but have not been downloaded to the local system yet?

I am rather new to Mac, but I am very proficient with Windows and Linux, so please feel free to be (almost) as technical as possible.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,



Teague
