You're right, Entourage caches the mail after it has been downloaded. This is simply the way Entourage works. If you want, you can control-click the account and Empty Cache each time you quit to get rid of the cached copies. There is a very good reason to keep cached copies, even if you don't work offline. It prevents Entourage from having the re-download the same data over and over again when you click a folder to view it's contents. This makes performance much better and reduces network traffic. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
