TT> The POP3 mbx it need to check will have msgs for all users (user1..user20). That's a bad thing. Since the deleting is actually done by the server and might depend on the downloading of all messages. Regardless of your e-mail client it's better to create 20 mailboxes at your server. Create those same accounts with your client. Set your client to download all of your accounts. The Bat! checks every account, but one after another. (IIRC Outbreak Express does the same.) Let's say that every account has two messages and that your connection lasts long enough for 29 messages. Since the accounts are checked one after another that means you've got 14 mailboxes empty and whatever client you use, those 28 msgs are deleted by the server. That's one msg that's got transported twice, but that's a big advantage. TT> All messages should be fetched when connecting to the TT> server regardless of which user who actually connects.

If you use one mailbox, it can be configured with filters. (Let's say I prefer the multiple mailbox very, very much.)

(Single user in a single household. <g>) Neither am I sure about the possibility of downloading mail for an account you don't have access rights, maybe somebody else can let his light shine upon that matter. -- Groetjes, Roelof -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
