See: http://www.vechtwijk.nl/dev/popmonitor/ http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11205 POPmonitor lets you filter emails before you download them. It gets the headers and first N lines (you can choose N) from the email on the server. It has a fairly simple spam filter that will either internally mark suspicious emails or delete them automatically. I've chosen to have POPmonitor mark the emails, as there are some mistakes (e.g., commercial email that I want). I then choose which to delete from the server. This takes a few seconds before I retrieve the emails onto my iMac. In your situation, this would let you delete the ones you don't want, then you can have PowerMail leave the emails it retrieves on the server. POPmonitor isn't a competitor for PowerMail, as it's not an email client: you can't reply to emails with it, it doesn't store emails, etc. George Slusher Eugene, OR
