When I'm not at home, I read my email via webmail. I could, I suppose, d/l it *without* deleting from the server. Then, when I get home, I fire up t-bird, and d/l all my mail, this time deleting it. I might assume that some folks d/l frequently, but do not delete from the server, thus saving space on their own system, but storing everything on the server. mark
