If the line is dropped again at the next mail check, will TB remember to issue this command every time again, until the message is successfully deleted from the server? > If I understand Thomas correctly, his line isn't dropped every time he > fetches his mail. Once I have downloaded all mails, the next check would go without problems, i.e. the connection finished by TB's issuing the QUIT command. At this moment, this is still a few MB (read: 2 or 3 mailcheck sessions) away for today. > OK, I knew that already.
