If you have the option (and it's exceeding rare that you don't), you should really switch to IMAP. POP3 is a very old and outdated protocol that assumes there is only one client connecting to it. It's even in the name: Post Office Protocol. The "Post Office" server delivers you your "letter," and now you have it and the Post Office deletes it. The whole leaving messages on the server thing is a hack to try and make POP3 work with multiple clients. So basically, switch to IMAP and your life will be much better. --Sean -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
