Dunno about thunderbird, but Eudora has a mail harvesting option (the dialog is initiated by holding down the shift key when clicking on the check mail icon) to, among the list of options, fetch all mail on the server. This will download duplicates of stuff that you have in the mail client,

This is true of almost any industry that has to do sales...car sales, computer sales, television sales.. People should arm themselves with information before they walk into a place were sales occur. On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 12:02 PM, b_s-wilk b1sun...@yahoo.es wrote: Bad PC Sales Staff Exposed
