When I am downloading mail from the server, if the process gets timed out or my connection drops before the session is complete the next time I attempt to download it always starts over with the first message again, even though it has allegedly deleted already downloaded messages from the server. (It is set to delete messages from the server, not retain them.) Today I had 85 messages in my main account, and it timed out several times, each time starting over at the beginning.
I decided to use �dispatch from server� to delete already received messages from the server and then try to download the remaining messages. I�d not used the feature before, so I tried it on a secondary account first, and to my surprise the five messages I�d already downloaded from that account were still there. I then deleted them, and when I checked messages again on that account there were none. But when I tried to do the same to the main account, it kept dropping after receiving the first header. I�m reasonably sure that the reason the download from my main account repeatedly dropped today is related to some problem at their end. However, the problem of TB! not deleting downloaded messages if the connection is dropped in the middle of a download session is common. (And dropping connections or processes timing out is common here because of bad phone lines. (I�m currently posted to Uzbekistan.)) Is this a known bug? (I�m using v1.62i.) Is there anything I can do to rectify it? Not only is it a bit frustrating, even though it�s relatively easy to delete dupes, it�s also expensive, since my dial-up here in Uzbekistan charges both by the hour and the kb of e-mail downloaded from the account here. Thanks. Rick ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
