Interesting, so it is suposed to be utomatic -- on when not deleting
from server, off when deleting from server, for mail that is. But if I
follow you right, it only works properly up to v.1.2, and not beyond.
No problem here, I don't delete from server with MDII when I use it for
mail, I do that only in YAM. Sounds like one step forward and two
back, just like with Voyager. I still run 3.0.52 here by preference.
At least I can use B to go back when the back button locks up, but I
can't do that with 3.2. Ollie may yet work all of these bugs out. The
question is when, God bless him.
