That depends on the server software and the possible settings there, doesn't it? As I've had similar experiences to yours I can only say that it could be worth investigating, however I'd rather select another email package than have to go trough that kind of analysis project again.
The only conclusion I could reach from my investigations was that from time to time PowerMail does not agree with the mail server what messages have been downloaded or not , which in my case led to a few messages being apparently lost and tens of thousands of messages getting redownloaded even though I already had them. As a contrast Apple's Mail performs without any problems with the same accounts (but if this is because it's better at handling the communication with Mail servers I can't know for sure as I had been using PowerMail previously on the same accounts and to most extent the same messages). Unfortunately, I'm not that fond of Mails interface nor the one mailbox per account, but as I'm slowly moving to IMAP, PowerMail is slowly loosing its value for me. I wish CTM would make IMAP full citizen, but I have seen nothing that indicates this could be on the horizon. However, I'm not sure that the cause of your problems must be related to those I had. PowerMail never deleted messages in some kind of regular fashion when PowerMail was set to not remove messages from the server at any point in my experience. Can you get a communication log from when this problem occurs I suppose it could be useful finding the cause. /MB
