This is part of the reason why I'm still a Claris Emailer fan. It hasn't been sold or updated since '97 but I still love it. The feature that applies here is the "Leave on Server For X Days" option. I don't think I've ever seen another mail client with that ability. I tend to leave mail on the server for 2-3 weeks so down the road when I'm at home and think of something in an email from a couple weeks ago, I can ssh in and find it in pine fairly easily without going into work. If all email clients supported this, the world would be a much better place. It would also be nice is the server could dictate some of these options to the clients when they connect. That would also be nice. :) Justin -- -- Justin Shore, ES-SS ES-SSR Pittsburg State University Network & Systems Manager Kelce 157Q Office of Information Systems Pittsburg, KS 66762 Voice: (620) 235-4606 Fax: (620) 235-4545 http://www.pittstate.edu/ois/ Warning: This message has been quadruple Rot13'ed for your protection.
