| 1144497 | 2010-10-13 23:18:00 | Apparently he does have the "leave emails on the server" box checked (deliberately), so that explains why they were there in the first place. He hasn't heard from Orcon about why they were all downloaded again. | Tony (4941) | ||

He hasn't heard from Orcon about why they were all downloaded again. Doubt he will hear from Orcon....i imagine his outlook express corrupted and it started again, there is a 2gb limit on express mailbox... |

| 1144499 | 2010-10-14 02:19:00 | He's actually using Outlook, not OE. I'm not sure what diff a limit on the local mailbox makes when all the emails came from the server. Are emails flagged on the server or locally whether they are or are not be be retained? | Tony (4941) | ||

Are emails flagged on the server or locally whether they are or are not be be retained? If using Office Outlook, then there is no limit, but if OE, then if the limit reach the mailbox could corrupt....E-mail would be flagged on the client as you can have multiple PC with clients getting the same mail. If one client is set to leave mail and another delete, then depending on what client connects, is whether or not the mail stays! So my laptop copies mail to the client, the desktop removes.....if the desktop gets the mail 1st, then the laptop wont! |

| 1144501 | 2010-10-14 03:01:00 | Older versions of Outlook also had the 2G limit. Even the new versions will have the 2G pst limit IF they used an older pst. They corrupt badly when you get close to that limit. |

| 1144502 | 2010-10-14 04:01:00 | I actually think it is most unlikely that he has hit a 2gig limit in his PST. He doesn't keep every email he has ever received - that is what the server is for. :) He is also using Outlook 2007 AFAIK. I suppose if he has never compressed the PST it could be getting big... |

| 1144503 | 2010-10-14 04:02:00 | Doubt he will hear from Orcon...What's wrong with Orcon? I thought they were supposed to have one of the better customer service setups. I know he has had an initial "we'll look into it" response. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1144504 | 2010-10-14 04:11:00 | I wouldn't assume its Ocron fault. They will only tell you nothing wrong at their anyway(ie never admit fault). If he wants to use a POP a/c in this way, expect a few niggles. I would bet its Outlook/Outlook Express has hick-upped & re-downloaded all the email. |

| 1144505 | 2010-10-14 09:39:00 | When the client connects to a POP3 server it requests a list of all emails in the maildrop, which the server duly provides, including a UID (unique identifier) for each message. The client will then request messages for download by UID. It is up to the client to keep a list of UID's it has already downloaded and omit those from requests when getting new mail. You can see this if you can log the transactions with your mail client, or you can telnet to the POP3 port and enter the commands manually. :) |
