My main system was down for a while with a fried motherboard, and in the mean time I was accessing mail from a secondary box (also using KMail), with the setting "leave fetched messages on the server" selected (I don't run my own mail server, but read from my ISP's POP server). When I got my machine back together again and fired up KMail for the first time, there was naturally a huge pile of mail to download... but every time since, I'm still getting all that mail downloaded again!

No, the *secondary* box was set to leave the messages on the server. When I went back to the *main* box (which was never set up like that), I am getting all the messages over and over again. -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Just don't panic and calm down.

You know for sure that your "main" box is *not* set to leave messages on the server??? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

I guess you might be. You did not say either way -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
