As upgrading to PM4 adressed most of my issues with the manner how the
messages are managed by PM on the server side, it seemed logical to me
that it could adress the issues you had.
CTMdev made a huge change in PM4 in the way they manage the server-side
database and thanks to this change PM4 hardly gives me duplicate messages
as PM3 did frequently.
As I am an 'ordinary user' and not an 'it-geek' it took me however some
studying to get the settings right and properly working for me.
As the main purpose of this list IMHO is to share our user-experience I
have indeed a strong believe that the experience of one user can adress
the problems of another. For the years i've been on this list I gained
much knowledge of PM and mail-issues just by reading problems and
solutions of other PM-users.
I agree with Scott that -no matter if you have problems or not- upgrading
is always a good strategy, especially when the evolution of a piece of
software is as great as in the recent updates of PM.
CTMdev adressed many issues and succeeded to improve PM with every upgrade.
