PM Have you tried to set your account properties to leave mails on server
PM for a couple of days instead of deleting them immediately?

Thanks Peter, for the suggestion. I will change those settings; a good
idea anyway. Meanwhile, after sending off a furious letter to my ISP I
think the problem was my filters-- I made some basic mistakes trying
to set up an archive file.

[start OT rant] But Road Runner, along with many ISPs, deserve to hear
from their subscribers since they are running very intrusive spam
blockers, which arbitrarily delete messages without notifying you;
many customers don't even know these spam blockers are in place. RR
for example, decided to block all emails from yahoo.com accounts. You
can contact them and whitelist accounts, but it can be hard to do if
you don't even know the blocking is going on! [end of rant]

Yes, I think it is in every case. It is a short-time backup. In case
anything or everything gets damaged or lost you can reload it in
connection with a regular backup.

It won't help against ISPs blocking complete domains though... ;-)

Mail deleted from server

2004-01-19 Thread P.Johnson
Forgive me if this is way off topic for this list, but I am having a
strange problem with some emails being deleted from the server before
I can download them. I am only aware of this because I see them in the
SpamPal Bayesian filter reclassify window (just before they disappear
forever). This happens with only a few messages as far as I can tell,
but the reason mystifies me. They are marked spam by SpamPal, but I
route all spam into a spam folder; I don't have them removed from the
server. My ISP is blaming it on spam, virus and/or firewall programs,
but none of these are have been set up to remove mail directly from
the server. Could I have inadvertently specified something like this
within TB?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, before I have to get on the
phone with the wonderful Road Runner tech support. :-)

Thanks in advance.

Originality is the art of concealing your sources.
