Aloha,
They are using their pop client as far as I know. Yes, this leaves
it to their discretion and if some have "Leave Mail on Server" I'm screwed.
Some also use Pine, Elm, or Mutt. I've often thought about going through their
and purging out "old" mail, but......... Does anyone else do that as a
general maintenance plan? If so, how do you get away with deleting mail?
Backups, and leave it up to them to call and ask for any old mail if they want
it?
