I've had mixed experiences, but I'll lay them out so you can judge for yourself. - It works very well and has a huge number of plugins to support different webmail providers( hotmail, yahoo, fastmail, you name it). - I used to have the dupes problem too. The dupes weren't blank messages, though, so I never actually lost anything. (Try enabling RFC 822 headers on those blank mails to see if anything shows up - it works for me often.)But I changed three things, and I'm not sure which of them is responsible for fixing the problems: 1. One, I re-downloaded and reinstalled web2pop. The website didn't reflect this, but there was actually a version change because the exe file sizes of what I was originally using and what I downloaded. 2. Two, I changed my options to "delete from server" instead of keeping them on the server as I used to. 3. Three, I changed from ZoneAlarm to BlackICE. I did some testing on this though and it was not ZA that was responsible. However, ZA does create problems for some people, so I thought I'd mention it anyway. - On Yahoo, I sometimes have problems viewing forwarded HTML messages. They appear as 1.msg, 2.msg attachments etc. Doesnt happen all the time. But I figured out that viewing RFC 822 headers would let you view these, though the HTML tags would be visible. Final decision? I'm sticking with Web2POP. It does a pretty good job.
