I do this also (using WinXP and Eudora at work to check personal mail) and what I do is set the Windows mail client up to leave messages on the POP server with the option to delete them from the server *if* I delete them locally, i.e. empty my mail trash. This way, I delete 90% of the messages I see daily (mailing lists, usually). The ones I want, I usually just leave in my inbox. When I get home, I check mail and those messages that I didn't delete get delivered here. Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
