Sam,
What he really wanted to do was to force the user to
have to check 'do not leave messages on the server' so
that they'd know it ahead of time and not be surprised when
the mail they just cleared out of their PC was the only copy.
Being privy to a lot of the support mail that comes in, I know
that is asking a lot of your normal messenger/outlook user.
I'd prefer the cron method myself. We'll see where things
end up...
Thanks,
