Hello again, As we host a whole virtual domain for them, we use the Imail nobody alias to redirect all their domain traffic to just one mailbox, then they use Mdaemon to collect all their messages through POP3 and distribute it to their staff and students. Mdaemon has support to avoid downloading messages after a certain size, but I have seen that by doing that they mess up something in the delete message routine so anytime there is a large message, none of the messages are deleted. They are marked as read so they don't download again but they accumulate until I go in and delete the bunch of them. After sometime it looks that the received message indexes that Imail or Mdaemon keep get out of synch not allowing them to receive any new mail. I have seen this behavior with regular clients like Outlook Express or Eudora when the user selects to leave a copy of their mail in the server and the mailbox has a very large amount of information.
I think that the option to move those large messages to another folder is a better and safer.

I know that Outlook at least *used* to support this, though Outlook Express does not. The Bat! does, and probably Eudora too.
