Hi David, Thanks for your response. I have tried modifying the source so that it doesn't delete, but then it refetches same message everytime. So, if with each PSYNC I have one more copy of each message in the local mailbox. It would need to check for UIDLs and not refetch messages that are already in the local mailbox. Would that be simple to add?
