Hans,

Thank you for your informative response.

I gather that on either opening or closing (which?) memory.pm is
written completely. As new mail arrives other entries are added.
Have I got it right?

I was looking at my modem activity and noted that about 400k of
data was being downloaded allthough only a couple of small sized
messages arrived. This seems to suggest that in checking unread
messages all messages are downloaded and only the unread ones
are then kept. But this seems to be at odds with another observation.
When I've received very large messages (containing attachments)
the download of the message takes a significant time (and the
percentage download indicator becomes active), but on the next pop
cycle, it is obvious that the large message is not again downloaded.

Looking forward to your response.

regards
Peter
