Hi Paul,
Thanks for your input.

Unfortunately, this is the case. Feel like writing a Java
implementation? :) I'm sure there are plenty of public-domain POP
classes out there already.

Yes, and this of course would make sense.

OK, just to be clear, there is the "Date" header which is set by the
sending client. Then there are the "Recieved" headers which there is
one of for each "hop" that the mail takes. For instance, your message
has 5:
Received: by 10.54.3.22 with SMTP id 22cs4099wrc;

Yes, the original emails are deleted. But I then send a few more test
ones, and they are all fetched with the "date" column being set to the
time I last fetched/deleted.

Dang.

Is this the "date" header or the "recieved" header?

Not interested; CF is not excatly an ideal protocol handler.

Yeah, I'm just on a rant. :)

I understand; if they would compile and run on Linux, I would be using
them in a flash. These MM bugs are seriously holding up our
development.

We have a bug open with MM on this, but I don't think we will even see
it fixed in Blackstone.
Thanks for your input.
