Hi,

Question. When I look at my email using my laptop using webmail the mail goes into status "been bead"

These mails do not arrive any more on my pc at home (Am using pop)

Is there a solution for this? (other than after reading the mail on the laptop putting the status of the mail to unread)

Thanks..

Is this a gmail account? And, is there any reason you use POP access, especially when IMAP is designed to avoid this kind of issue when accounts are accessed by multiple devices?

It is not gmail

Tried that but because of the huge amount of mails I receive I lost some mails.

Better question: how does Thunderbird know which mails to sync?

Does it only take mails that are in status unread?

I mention gmail because it doesn't allow mail to be read from the same POP account on multiple devices unless 'recent mode' is enabled. Maybe your mail provider has a similar policy. TB keeps track of what has been downloaded (POP accounts don'r 'sync') in the popstate.dat file. I don't think it downloads just unread, but not previously downloaded, mail unless a 'recent mode' restriction is in place.
