Mrs DL has an email address ... that email address is also in my email client as my machine is on nearly 24/7. She fires up her laptop periodically, so I filter her emails and forward her the important ones. However, recently she tells me that she's already had the same email/s earlier than the forwarded ones I sent her?
On checking through Webmail earlier, there are loads of emails that have been received locally yet they still exist on Webmail?
Is this how things work now?

POP3 is also used on the free email service.
With POP3 emails are normally downloaded and removed from the server, although most clients have an option to leave the messages on the server for X days. Messages are not synchronised across devices.
With IMAP all devices synchronise themselves with the account on the server, so if you move or delete aessage in one client on an account and then check the same account on another device using IMAP then you will see the same change there.
Seem to me like you have your accounts setup as POP3 and are leaving messages on the server.
You have 2 protocol options with EmailPro, POP3 and IMAP.

Thanks Eccles ...
This didn't happen a few months ago ... but seems to have 'happened' recently and yet no changes have been made? As the accounts use POP3, as they always have done, do I check Thunderbird for a solution or is there something wrong with POP3 settings?
EDIT:
Found the settings within Thunderbird ... sorted. Thanks for the 'hint' :¬)
