I was trying to figure out why he wants to leave it there. Is he going to
access it later? Or is he just having a problem because he is downloading
the same mail "over and over?" In fact, with Thor the reason why you do
download messages over and over again is because you left them on the server.
The solution to that problem is to delete the messages from the server.
I do understand what your saying. He wants to leave them on the server. But
is the reason he wants to leave them because he doesn't want to download them
"over and over" again? Or to use them later?
I'm curious, if you leave your mail at a site, does your ISP consider that
storage? Leaving mail at a site seems to be more than just a function of
software.
