Dick, Are you sure you need to download your mail? I use only web mail and some of my messages on shaw are several years old. (I must clean house sometime!) Even better, my wife and each have gmail accounts which we use most of the time and we never download. Right now I have 401MB on their server which is 5% of my quota.
