Hi Don, I'm thinking that the hang up after current operation that Bob just mentioned does work as well to stop those messages from being downloaded next time. For, I've downloaded part of my email and then read and deleted and emptied what I had downloaded, and then gone back and those messages that I had already dealt with weren't downloaded again. However, on those times that I told the BN to hang up immediately, then all the messages were there to be downloaded again, even those I had already read and deleted and emptied. But, after all, grin, with the PK and trying to conserve space on the flash disk, my goal was both to read and then remove those email from my flash disk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 11:45 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] emails
Hi, If you want to only download part of your email and not download it again next time you attempt to download, try reading those messages you do download and moving them to the trash. But, do not empty the trash. This should prevent them from being downloaded again. Even if you do tell the bn to delete messages from server, they actually aren't deleted physically from the server until all messages have been downloaded. This is true for the bn and also for many other email programs which run on the pc. If you cancel the download of email in the middle of the process which is what you're actually doing by only downloading a certain number of messages, they will not be deleted from the server until the whole batch is finished downloading. That's just the way email in general works.
