They just want to send and receive e-mails. EXPUNGE is not in their everyday vocabulary, but PURGE is. Even though EXPUNGE may be the more technically correct term, PURGE may still be a much better choice from a marketing and majority user point of view. Anyone have any idea why EXPUNGE was chosen for RFC 3501 instead of PURGE? -- Regards, Plan9 A hamburger walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve food here." ________________________________________________________ Current beta is v2.12 RC/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
