Thanks Ian; There are a large number of messages but I want them all. My hard drive crashed and it was several days before I could get a new one installed so my mail was just collecting. When I put TheBat back to "Collect mail every half hour" it seemed to download the same ones over and over because it never sent the final whatever it needs for the server to not send them again. It is really boring to sit and babysit an email program for hours just to clear your mail box. :)
I was hopeful that as versitile as TheBat is that there would be a way to automate this. That way I could just set it up before I go to work and it would be done the next time I had a chance to work with my machine.
