Receiving email at multiple locationsI have Outlook 2003 configured with a POP server and receive email there
without incident. I also have a Blackberry and an iPod Touch, both configured to receive email from the same account. Despite the fact that Outlook is instructed to leave mail on the server (via the Advanced tab in More Options), when Outlook is open, my two mobile devices do not receive email, except in the lucky circumstance of them happening to check for mail before Outlook does. Why is this happening? How can I get all three locations to get along? Is the only solution to configure Outlook as an IMAP server? I would rather not do that. Thanks for the help... Rick A.

CHECKED: Leave a copy of messages on the server Remove from server after 5 days UNCHECKED: Remove from server when deleted from Deleted Items And yet when Outlook downloads mail first, no other device will download it.
