I spoke to iiNet support and then checked my webmail, which I hadn't
done before. There were 2800 messages there. I have always had the
preferences in Mail set to delete messages from the server right away
when downloaded. So why wasn't this done? Has anyone else had a
problem with this?
I'm not sure if every e-mail ever sent to this address was there - it
looked more like a rather random selection of some. Changing pages
on the iiNet web site was going slower than a crawl, so I just
flushed the entire lot. I suppose I will just have to periodically
check the webmail to see what is going on.
Thanks very much for the suggestions.
