Some reasons come to mind. 1) Due to the nature of IMAP it's expected by users that what they see is present on the server 2) It makes maintaining the local cache easier. If you've only got a local copy of the welcome message, then there's a need for it to be programmed that as long as the message isn't deleted it should be displayed. And every line of code causes bugs. (Yes. Really. Some people keep those welcome messages for years.) 3) I wouldn't even mind a similar message when you've created a new account. That would tell you that the account is configured fine. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator not found, (r)etry (p)ost off topic? http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.0.22.14 (ALPHA) Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 5 pop3 accounts, 3 imap account OTFE disabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM
