I've been using Gmail's POP access for quite some time now, but I want
to access my e-mails through POP on different locations.

Normally the settings on these machines would be 'leave messages on
server' and the computers will download all the new messages.

Now with Gmail, they only download the _unread_ messages. As a result,
I have two incomplete mailboxes on the machines... Anybody a solution?

Don't have a solution, but I have a question. Why don't you use
Gmail's web interface?

Hmm... You can download all messages, but that just means that you get =
old messages as well...

I know how you could do it with Microsoft Outlook, but it costs money. =
If you get a USB Flash Drive, or Mini Drive, You save your Outlook Data =
automatically there(by changing your .pst file to that drive) for both =
computers; then its like the same computer, as far as Outlook is =
concerned. A small 128mb drive costs about $30, using American =
Currency. Belkin.com has a good view of this.

There also may be a way to do the same with OE, but I don't know of one =
right now.
