Thanks, but that is definitely overkill. I'm looking for a solution for my personal email I get through my ISP, SBC-Global. I'm just a code monkey; I don't host my own systems. If it is simple enough, I could consider my own mail server, but I have no idea even where to start on an idea like that.
Otherwise, I'm looking for more advance tips on working with an ISP and my mail client. For example, is there a way to get Thunderbird or another common, easy to use mail client to down load just the headers, before downloading the rest of the message? Thus I can ignore a great deal of the unwanted mail. This could be ideal; if I could do this with the Junk folder my ISP creates when I use their spam tool. Allowing me to quickly find the false positives with my e-mail client rather then the clunky web interface. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
