I did a quick experiment and this seems to be the order that TheBat retrieves and deletes messages for me on a POP account. C: RETR 1 S: +OK octets Message C: RETR 2 S: +OK octets Message C: DELE 1 S: +OK C: RETR 3 S: +OK octets Message C: DELE 2 S: +OK C: RETR 4 S: +OK octets Message C: DELE 3 S: +OK C: RETR 5 S: +OK octets Message C: DELE 4 S: +OK C: RETR 6 S: +OK octets Message etc C: DELE N-1 S: +OK C: DELE N S: +OK C: QUIT So it sort of does what you want, but one message behind. Don't know if this is by design or accident. -- Regards, Plan9 I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate. - George Burns Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I think the one message behind is by design. But the DELE command doesn't delete the message, it only flags it for deletion. The deletion will be executed on the server when the QUIT command is received. TB only sends commands to the server, it cannot change the server's standard behaviour. What is the purpose of having the mails deleted before quiting? Just curious. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. Wer fuer alles offen ist, kann nicht ganz dicht sein.

A quick Google search found: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/pop.htm with pointers to several pertinent RFCs for the curious. TF TB only sends commands to the server, it cannot change the TF server's standard behaviour.
