Even if the server supports UIDL, TB will re-download messages if you set it to "delete messages from server", but not if you set it to "leave messages on server". It is a known bug, too. If you switch from "leave" to "delete", all messages on the server will be downloaded again, too. Even though the list of already downloaded messages is already known to TB. This has been confirmed several times. Whether or not his server supports UIDL remains to be seen once Richard sets his TB to "leave" and tries my suggestion. If my work-around doesn't work for him, it is a server problem and he cannot work around his problem. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
