It isn't a bug at all... it's the way the RFC is designed for POP3. The protocol allows for a message to be flagged as "deleted" while you have an active session (connect to server). When TB! disconnects safely (sends QUIT message) it tells the server to clean up, and remove the messages it flagged. This means that when TB! is flagging all those messages as delete, they are only flags for the server. The server won't remove them _until_ it is told that the client is done. Your problem is, TB! isn't getting chance to send the QUIT message to the server, as you get kicked off. This results in the clean up process not happening. Apart from using the Mail Dispatcher, and the "Kill Dupes" option, there isn't much you can do without sorting out your connection problem. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPkC6fCuD6BT4/R9zEQJ6ewCg9Ky6C+ZgT5c+vqf5gGcaQVBFWzUAnjZe OJm2Wlv0XDOvayGKNqw/LQad =LnaC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
