[IMail Forum] checking mail via Yahoo

[Michele Cuttitta]

Hi,   A customer of ours is checking his email via his ISP's mail client - Yahoo.  He is getting every message (new and old) every time he hits Receive.  The interval at which he checks his mail is every 15 minutes.  He is keeping copies of his messages on the server.  From Yahoo's help site:   "The POP3 protocol, which we use to retrieve messages from your external mail accounts, provides a command named LAST. It determines the last message "seen" on the external mail server, at any time from any computer. When you use the "Check Other Mail" option, we use this command to distinguish those messages which are new and should be downloaded from those which have already been seen. Although nearly all mail servers support the LAST command, a few do not. If you happen to be using one that doesn't, then when you click the "Get POP Mail" button, all of the messages in your Inbox will be retrieved, rather than only the new messages" Does iMail support the LAST command?  If not, is there another way around this? Thanks, Michele
