The messages are under the current port marked as read. The size of the deamon is about on quarter of QPOPPER, which makes it very fast and light. CUCIPOP handles the attachments with little problems usually when there has been a problem with an attachment it has been a very large file(15 - 20 MB or greater) that hangs somewhere for various reasons 95% of which rest between the chair and the keyboard (Impatience). I have no hesitations on recommending it as a alternative to QPOPPER. Regards John M. Vandette **John M. Vandette, Consultant vandj@securenet.net** **SecureNet Information Services Inc.
