That's interesting, the reason I initially sent the query was because
TB was downloading that file every time I checked my mail, but today
it seems to be ignoring it like you say.

I guess since I am deleting my messages from the server, this message
isn't being generated. So my next question is, if I check my mail from
a different computer, and I don't delete it from the server, will I
get this configuration message? If so, I should be able to just trash
it after deleting all messages from the server, right?

Well, right now I use SSH through my telnet program and then I have
the SMTP and POP3 ports forwarded using SSH port forwarding. So my TB
uses the SMTP and POP3 ports on my local machine, and those have been
forwarded to the Unix server's ports. This means that I have to launch
my Telnet program and login, before TB is launched. If I could make
this more seamless, I would be very pleased.
Using a batch file, I can run the two programs simultaneously, so the
mail server isn't ready for TB to check mail. Or I can wait until
I exit the SSH program, which is pointless since it needs to be
running when TB checks the mail.
