I'm confused. mbox is a storage format. POP is a message transfer protocol. I use POP to transfer from an mbox file on the server to an mbox file on my desktop. Is caching supported because I use POP or not supported because I use mbox? jl -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)
