Unless their MUA does that by default. I'm not sure how many do. I can't think of any strong reasons to have it disabled. I once had a problem with local email disappearing on a freshly installed laptop. It turned out that Seamonkey was picking it up and moving it to its own mail directory. That was not so good because I was using Seamonkey only as a browser, not for mail. If it had waited until I opened Seamonkey Mail before picking up local mail, then I would have been quite happy about it. Gmail users would miss it I suppose. There are some disadvantages to relying on web services for everything. Björn Persson
