Hi Pat,

I'm not 100% sure about this but i have a suspicion that although you have it set to remove from server iinet does this periodically and not with each individual email. I know i was glad of this once when my drive crashed and i lost everything including some business emails not yet answered.

I spoke to iiNet support and then checked my webmail, which I hadn't done before. There were 2800 messages there. I have always had the preferences in Mail set to delete messages from the server right away when downloaded. So why wasn't this done? Has anyone else had a problem with this?

I'm not sure if every e-mail ever sent to this address was there - it looked more like a rather random selection of some. Changing pages on the iiNet web site was going slower than a crawl, so I just flushed the entire lot. I suppose I will just have to periodically check the webmail to see what is going on.

Thanks very much for the suggestions.
