A) Your email client can cache local copies to work with offline. B) When you get to your desktop client, you can move the email to your local system and delete from the server. C) Your paranoia and the belief that anything you're doing impacts your level of privacy amuses me and shows a lack of understanding of how targeted advertising works. D) The only ones who benefit from POP3 are the providers as they save in storage and transit costs. -- Seth H Holmes Droid RAZR M with K-9 Mail.
