Art, Frankly, I don't mind it being left in the mailbox. (I just checked and I had 482 messages.) There have been times when Eudora didn't want to work, and I can still get and send my messages on webmail. If I want to save any of my sent messages, particularly those regarding genealogy, I just resend them to me so that I'm sure I don't lose them. It took me maybe 5 minutes to clear out those 482. I'm very happy with the arrangement. Pat At 11:49 PM 8/15/2004, you wrote: >Pat, > >In Eudora, check your settings under Tools> Options> Incoming Mail.
