Re: Mail Messages won't go away

1) A delete from server rule will not download the messages.

2) In a reply to PA Bear, Vince mentioned 4,280 messages. With my webmail, you have to checkmark each message to delete it, so that would only be 4,280 checkmarks.

Go to your web based email page (Optimum Online?) and delete them there first. Then you won't have them downloading to OE.
Then adjust the settings in OE as per Ron's advice.

I know I have to remove the messages from the server. My point is that
nothing I do has so far removed them from the server since March. In
March I was OK. After that every message that I've gotten, read from
my desktop, and deleted completely still download from the server to
my laptop at the start of the next session.
I'd like to know how to blast them completely out of the del;eted
folder and server.
Any further suggestions?

Thanks

You need to remove the emails from the server or your server space
may fill up and start bouncing emails.

Interrupting an email download will cause the emails to be
downloaded again.

You could create a message rule to not download messages over xx
days old. This will stop them from downloading to the laptop, but
not stop your server from filling up.

Hi:
I put a new laptop into srervice (business trips only) in January
2005 running OE6 on XP SP2.  Recently, when I go to turn OE on, all
my messages from March start to download. It doesn't stop until all
of them (about 4K) have loaded. If I try to quickly remove them in
mid stream to avoid overload,
the ones I've removed, even from the Deleted Folders, load again.
Is this also a POP3uidl.dbx problem? Can I stop this in some way?
I have the Options settings in OE the same as the ones I use in my
Desktop Me system (but not in any advanced box) as much as I can
match in the two.

Thanks for your help

Vince
