I think that it does take longer using selective download, but I don't think the difference is too great, because what you loose in the downloading of the headers initially, you gain by not downloading messages you don't want. Downloading the headers is a lot quicker than downloading messages, particularly over a slow connection. Databug's situation is a little different, because all of the messages are going to be downloaded anyway so the downloading of the headers is an additional overhead, but that increase in overall download time is justified by the circumstances. I use selective downloads in two specific situations - as a spam filter on an account that gets a lot of junk mail, and when I am travelling and downloading mail using my mobile phone, when I don't want to download a 500K email message unless I really need to!

HTH Another option could be to set up a selective download filter in both of the accounts, set up to ingore messages for the other person, so: Account X - Ignore messages for Account Y Account Y - Ignore messages for Account X When account X logs on, only messages for account X will be downloaded, and messages for Y left on the server, and the opposite will happen when account Y logs on. The filter would look like this: Account X: Detect by Entire Header Signal String: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Advanced|Action: Ignore Account Y: Detect by Entire Header Signal String: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Advanced|Action: Ignore Julian -- Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Databug, On Sat, 31 Aug 2002 11:18:08 +0100GMT (31-8-02, 12:18 +0200GMT, where I live), you wrote: D> This has probably been asked before but how do I set up a filter for D> my daughter so that she only collects mail that is for her, and the D> same for my account so that I can`t download her mail. Are you two using one account together, so that your mail is collected from one pop3 box. Or are you using separate accounts? In the first case you can't download your mail or her mail without changing the filters every time you switch users, you can however filter her mail into a folder and yours in another. In the latter case don't use 'Check mail for All' and if necessary password protect both accounts. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
