central mail

[Chris Aitken]

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I included most of the original
post below as it has been a while. I have not switched to IMAPI (and I don't
know yet if my ISP's server supports it) - things will have to get more
painful before I switch - because pop is now doing what I want it to do.

It seems now that as long as I hit 'Get Msg' in NSMessenger and 'Check New
Mail' in webmail, the mail is now deleting from the server. I guess this is
the kind of thing that you don't have to do with IMAPI. So, I'm sure I'll
make the switch eventually.

:) Chris
