I went with qpopper -s as this box is one of 25 and I _really_ don't want one box different. after a week he's claimed another two messages have disappeared. I checked the logs and sure enough the two messages have been delivered to his mailbox. tallied the stats from qpopper and he has downloaded every message that has been delivered to his mailbox. not really sure where to go from here. both he and his PA are using Netscape 4.61 as the mail client, might get them to upgrade to 4.73 any other ideas? thanks, -- Daniel Quinlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netwise Australia ph: 07 3252 8111 "Engineering Your Network Solution" fax: 07 3216 0226

I wasn't referring to the quality of TV shows at all. I was referring to the attitude of "I have seen a TV show so I know something". No matter how good a TV show is (and you'll have to admit that most aren't much good) it's still not much good as research. >>As for the Roman Empire.

To >barbarians. > >So, who is it that topples the American Empire? :) The barbarians did not destroy the Roman empire. Sure they sacked Rome, but someone had to do it. The Roman empire declined of it's own accord because everyone at the top focussed on competing with their colleagues (which usually meant keeping down anyone who was too good) and attaining personal shot-term benefit regardless of the cost to themselves and/or society in the medium or long-term. The people at the bottom of society were entertained and subsidised in being stupid (like dole bludgers nowadays). Eventually it got to the stage where they were unable to defend Rome properly and it fell. With the way the world works now invasion isn't practical. It used to be that you could conquer a country and the peons wouldn't mind that much (one feudal over-lord is much the same as another), the rulers would be dead or quislings, and the empire would expand. Now if you try to conquer a country you can only expect a situation like Vietnam, Ireland, or Chechnia. But I can imagine a situation where the USA degrades to a level where they can't police the population. Then most parts of the large cities could become over-run by gangs which could then evolve into a new feudal form of government. Russell Coker

Changing mail clients won't make a difference. Just tell him what you found, that everything went out that came in. Then tell him to look to the sender, because there's a five nine probability that she's screwing up and nuking messages.
