Using centos 5.x, sendmail, as a server, downloading mail with thunderbird (although this happened with outlook too)
every 5 or 6 months I open my mail client (thunderbird) and one of my mail accounts decides to download 1,000 or so mails from my server. Old mail that I had already downloaded before.
What emails are you refering to Bob - ones specific to this list?
Is this email being flushed (deleted) the first time you are downloading it. Using fetchmail I can download emails, and specify either the 'keep' or 'no-keep' option to either download and not delete, or download and delete from the mail server.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
