Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. In my case respecting the order is not a requirement. I hash each message header retrieved by mpop and add it, along with its received date, into a database. Then, when I want to prune old messages from the server, I run my filter script, which will for each message header match the local and remote hashs and delete it if it was received by more than a certain period (a parameter). But I would like to tell mpop to stop retrieving headers as soon as I kill a few messages. Let me give you another example. Suppose I want to search (on the server) for the existence of a message header that contains a given string, for instance, a sender e-mail. Of course, if the script finds the message header, it would be better if mpop stopped retrieving the remaining headers. -- Douglas A.
