How to make read messages to appear unread on another pc?

Radosław Ratajczyk

Hi, I use thunderbird on two pc's. When I read a message on one of them, that message changes to read. Is it possible to change it? I would like to have it unread on my second pc despite having it read on the first one. Sorry for my English :)

First, your English is perfect. :) Second, the challenge is figuring how to specify on second pc which messages were read. The only way to be sure would be on first pc to mark it unread after reading it. A possible option would be to move read messages to another folder on first pc. Then, all email in inbox on second pc could be assumed as 'new.' I suggest you rethink why you want it to appear unread, since you have already read it.
