The default email client on OS-X seems to be much like Microsoft Outlook, in that, if it can not download ALL new messages in a session, it won't delete ANY of them, and it continues to consider them "new". Most clients will delete messages they've downloaded, either as they're downloaded, or at the end, so only the problematic message remains. In this case, you'll have to find out which message is the last they receive, to narrow the field to the one that causing the "burp". Do you have a web interface to your mail server? It might help to have them use that, OR switch to IMAP to clear the account. -- Jeff Brenton President, Engineered Software Products, Inc http://espi.com Questionable web page: http://dididahdahdidit.com Liberalism grants you the freedom to advocate any idea*. * Please see http://www.dididahdahdidit.com/except.php for a current list of exceptions
