I think there is an option to retrieve more than just the headers when retrieving messages. If not, I am fairly sure IMAP allows such a functionality. >> Conversely, does TB allow me to use IMAP and store every message on >> the server, never locally? > IMAP is a protocol that stores the message on the server.

It is designed to allow operation like POP for those that desire it. Perhaps this misconception is what makes IMAP less than it's design. >> Finally, does TB allow everything in between, deleting some messages >> from the server, but keeping them on the client side and vice versa? > No. Thanks for the info.

Outbox followed it's own set of rules too apparently. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
