My email is filed by rules into the appropriate folders as it comes in, so I almost never have to move it myself. I do a lot of deleting on my PowerBook because I know I have it stored on my G5, which might further be a problem with IMAP if it meant that those emails would also be deleted from the mail stored on the G5. Different strokes for different folks, I can surely see that now! All this aside, I'd be curious to hear from the *original* poster to see if he managed to get his Gmail onto two different computers using "recent" mode, or whether he switched to IMAP. ~Linda
