Read about your reader. I use the watch (little sunglasses next to message)
function to keep track of it all. Then I use synchronize accounts feature. I
have no problems.

I can always find a message even if it's not watched by changing my sort
options (name, subject, date etc). You can also flag messages. Then you can
sort by flagged or watched messages. I am sure most people know about this
stuff. Al readers are different. This is just what i do and what works for
me.

I have used a few readers and still find myself coming back to Outlook
Express 6.
