Outlook doesn't appear to be this intelligent (with reference to POP anyway) Like I said earlier, POP3 was never really designed to work that way, so it's saying a lot for Pegasus that it's able to handle it. It's odd that you should mention Pegasus in this manner. One of my clients will be switching from Pegasus to Outlook soon because they're unhappy with Pegasus and Outlooks seem to fit their needs better. I wonder if they're on an old version of Pegasus?? -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
