Are you looking for a way to look at the number of messages and see their relative sizes? As far as I am aware you could check the sizes and the number of mails by telnet and using the list command. I believe there is a way of deleting a particular group of messages (say message 301 to 310 for example) DELE 301-309. But I have never tried this so I wouldn't know. It depends on your telnet system. Some you have to delete each message one by one and some you can do many (i.e. thousands, when mac mail isnt set to delete mails from the server). -- Have Fun, Ben Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.85.03 falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | '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/
