the messages is does NOT need to be retrieved unless you hit "CR" to read
it, but you do see the "subject line, date, who-from"... NOT the message
itself unless you hit "CR"
simply hitting "d" would delete it and is never sent to your local pc
that you're using to read it

using different email clients will do different things...
use what works better for -you- or -them-
avoiding ms outlook ( any version ) is a good thing
