If you are, you could use the pipe facility in the filters to do a diff between the body of the messages, and if the same put a flag in the header which you could use to filter to delete the unwanted. You would of course need to identify the two messages with two similar bodies, or you could copy all incoming mail to a separate folder on the host machine, as long as it runs a proper OS and sequentially compare the body content of each new received message with what in the separate folder. Sorta : copy all new incoming to a local folder filter on recipient , if contains @hotmail pipe to external program then with the external program see if the body has been received . if already received delete it, if not return it to EVO Probably the easiest way to return it to Evo would be to use a local smtp server to send it again to you IMAP account , but not the hotmail one , or you will have a loop. Or the even simpler solution , just have one mail account for your self, or if you really insist on having multiple accounts , pick the most reliable and forward everything else to that one -- Best wishes /73 Richard Bown Email : rich...@g8jvm.com HTTP : http://www.g8jvm.com ###################################################################### Ham Call: G8JVM .
