If there is corrupted email that is stuck, then any email program's deletion routine could be "fooled" or an error could occur during deletion, causing an email to show up again and again. Pop Monitor allows for more direct, surgical manipulation of the POP account. However, now that it appears you're indicating you are actually wanting email to stay on your account, then there is likely another issue. I admit I cannot help you there as I always have my email programs download and delete -- I have never trusted POP's claims to act like IMAP. Also, I seem to remember PM's IMAP implementation being a bit buggy until v4 so that if I went into my .Mac email via web browser and later with PM, things wouldn't sync quite right... Haven't see that in a while, though. >>Mikael Byström sez: >> >>>How can you say so, Karen, when I've told that the problems at question >>>here continued in PM 4.1.2 and 4.1.3, *even* with a fresh new POP >>>account? >> >>She can probably say so because she isn't exhibiting the problems you're >>having.

She was responding to Scott's take on upgrading. It appeared to me to be an honest attempt to help by basically saying if you have tried X and Y, then perhaps Z (upgrading allthe way) would help. That you don't agree does not mean she was attacking you. >>Honestly, if you do and no update has fixed it >>to your satisfaction, move on to another client that does. >This comment take the price. Again, you take something as an attack. I'm just being honest. If a product doesn't act as I expect and gives me as much trouble as you seem to have with PM, then I move to another product. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter if it is only one problem. It doesn't matter if the trouble is in my head or only me and no one else in the whole world. If the trouble is such a hindrance to my work and enjoyment, and I can erase it by using something else, then I do it. That's not an attack on you -- it's business. I'm sorry you're feeling persecuted, Mykael. A lot of people are putting a lot of time into trying to make suggestions for you. And we welcome your thoughts and ideas when others are having trouble, too! -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
