-- Thanks for the trouble Oscar and Randy, Actually I was reffering to the slow GSM connection. Using the IMAP protocol requieres me to browse online taking even more time. Staroffice worked in the same fashion out the box but isn't really a gain. Filtering on the server side of course works an the 'trick' I personally use is letting all mail go to my mainbox at home, filter the mail there and forward what's left and usable to my GSM. That way if things get really messy I can always connect remotely and clean things up if need be:) But it's not what I would advise a collegae who want's to switch from Windoze to Linux. The point was that the feature worked very well in Eudora. Click on get mail, it makes the connection, get's the mail and disconnects. If there's too large a mail in there it warned as I described only partially downloading the culprit. Next time I connect I've decided what to do with it and delete, download or leave it on the server. Perfect! -- Good hunting, Harm Bathoorn.
