Marking e-Mail as read when downloaded to 2nd (or 3rd) PC

I have a PC at my office and one at my home and a laptop.
After shelling out over $ 1,500 to 3 copies of Office I
discover that unlike Eudora e-mails that I downloaded and
read on one computer are still maked as Inread when
downloaded on the other two computers.

How can I have marked as "Read" e-mails that were
downloaded on another computer first? Let's sat that I am
on the road for two weeks and download all e-mails send to
me during this period to my laptop. When downloading e-
mailsat home all the e-mails that I have read on the road
are marked as "Unread" how can I have them marked
as "Read" the way they are in Eudora.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Office for Students and Teachers costs about $150 and can be installed on up
to three computers.

You can't, at least with POP mail. The POP server doesn't know about "read"
and "unread". It's just a storage location for incoming mail. It's up to
the client to decide which messages have been read and which haven't. After
all, it is the client that does the reading.

Eudora must do more than the typical POP client. Perhaps the Eudora account
is something other than POP. An IMAP account in either client should work
as you describe.
