Entourage behaves the same way with servers when you DRAG. Yes, I recognize what it's doing. What Mail does is better. It may be one of only three or so things Mail does better, but it is better, at least for me. >> >> And once again, an MVP seems to be trying to change the subject.

I've received multiple messages off-list from people saying they agree with me: MVPs have a tendency to defend Microsoft instead of help other users. I appreciate it when MVPs are helpful. But telling users to "not do it like that, do it Microsoft's way!" is not helpful. It's actually fairly arrogant. > Entourage does not download messages twice for most people.

If it were just me that's having the problem, then obviously it's an issue with me. But since I'm having the problem with multiple mail servers on multiple instances of Entourage (but one account seems to be a problem more often than the other), and there are multiple people having the problem, clearly there is an issue that Microsoft should address. > For > example, I have a POP account which leaves messages on the server when > downloading to one of my computers, and removes from the server on the > other.

I'll try that. Thank you. Kirk -- Operations Manager Student Media Company, Inc.
