POP3 Client (MercuryD) - leave messages on server

That's certainly unambiguous. Thank you for your help.

I admit that this is sorta strange and a newbie question. I want to use Mercury/32 as a central server for (primarily) my email accounts. I have quite several separate email accounts (mostly POP3 with one IMAP) that I access from multiple computers in multiple locations. My intention is to combine all of the emails into a central location and access them through IMAP. I've installed Mercury/32 on a server and can download emails from a POP3 account.

Unfortunately, I'm not completely confident that I won't suffer a catastrophe and lose data on my server, so I'd like to keep copies of emails on their individual POP3 servers until I decide to delete them. MercuryD does not appear to have a setting to leave emails on the server.

=> Is it possible to leave emails on the server after MercuryD downloads them?

Thanks in advance,

Bruce

Nope MercuryD downloads all the mail made available by the POP3 server in the account and then deletes them from the server on closing.  As long as there has been a successful POP3 session the mail is gone from the POP3 account.
