Never seen it happen with any mail client except O/OE, and I've never found a way to stop it. We had three people on that "leave messages on server" setting and their "multiple downloads" were never sync'd and we never could find a corrolation. (One guy NEVER had it happen, one was intermittant and one happened fairly regularly...but never regularly enough for us to pin it down.) -Mike/Szii --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
