Strangely enough, the archive is not a problem. Once messages find their way there, they stay put and, since I never move messages to archive on the laptop, there is only one copy. Having the archive makes things a little easier and it doesn't take too long to load. When it does get onerous, I'll leave messages in the main account a little longer and do as you say. Unfortunately, both accounts deleting from the server is not an option for two reasons. I check mail from my laptop to see whether anything new has come in -- if my office email server deletes the message, I can't get at it from the laptop. Also, I'm not the only user at chéz nous. If my laptop deletes from the ISP, the others won't get their mail! FWIW, being able to block-delete all messages from an account would do it. The problem is the old messages that come back from the laptop and the duplicate messages that come via the other route. If I deleted all messages from the laptop before syncing, there would be no extra baggage to come back from the laptop. -- Geoff Lane Cornwall, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Using The Bat! v1.53d on Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6 Insanity is hereditary ... you get it from your kids! -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
