we have 5 employees using the thunderbird email program on 5 different computers, All thunderbird programs receive email from the same gmail account. We want each user to receive a copy of the email and not have a action done to the email by a different user " read, move, deleted etc" to effect the other users copy of the email.

Hope to hear from you Sean Skellington sean@marpofitness.com 925 339 4710

Sounds like a recipe for chaos. What's to stop your five employees all sending a reply to each and every incoming message?

You'd have to set this up as a pop account (not imap). But then the users won't see each others replies.

Sounds like a mess, as Zenos said. You need a better workflow.
