Messages sitting on my gmail account, still can't download anything (MS Outlook 2003)

[leventorer]

Recently I started using my gmail account both at work and at home with
MS Outlook 2003.

Home Outlook is the primary one, so at WORK I checked the "leave a copy
on the server" option, and -as expected- messages still sit on my gmail
account as I checked when I came home.

Now trying to download these messages at home Outlook, I do a
send/receive, but nothing gets downloaded !@#$! even though they show
up on gmail.

Any ideas ??

Once read, i.e. downloaded by one pc, the other will see it "as read" and
will not download it.
If you look at gmail the message will not be in "bold" as an unread message.

No, they are all bold, i.e. unread.

and will not download it.

If this is true, it's antithetical to how other POP servers work. The state
of read/unread the server tracks should have no bearing on whether or not
Outlook views it as read.
