Think of it as a lock condition. You get all the emails from your server. You process them, stick 'em in a database or whatnot, then empty your mailbox. Everything in there is gone, including any messages that come in during your processing time that you didn't see. I'm no POP3 expert, so correct me if this isn't possible. thanks -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
