OK. I have something more to add here. I use fetchmail on a linux box to download these message from the server and deliver to the local mailbox ...
That (fetchmail) never seems to have the same problem that OE seems to have, so I guess I should not enable auto-delete to solve a problem that OE has. ;-) I guess I should switch to Eudora and tell that to my customers too. ;-) Any one here suggests another e-mail client? The only reason I'm stuck with OE is because - it does not show ADs like Eudora - it has a better find tool than Eudora, however, that was a few years back, so I don't know if things have changed in Eudora from them...
