Derick, thank you for the reply. my appologies for sending it to the wrong thread. I assumed deleting the subject and body would start a new one. won't happen again. Thank you for the information. I had searched the documentation for fetchFromOffset but no results appeared. I may have done something wrong. sorry. I will most certainly use this method. Thanks for your help!
