If it's some kind of POP3 arrangement (using fetchmail or something similar) I can quite believe it would only notice mail that arrived since the last IMAP session. Personally I'd just run an IMAP client on my desktop as well -- that should be able to see all the mail on the server, whether it's been read or not. Scott
