download only once : how ?

[quote user="hanky"]

hi, i'm a brandnew user of p mail (fantastic program !) but i'm experiencing this problem : i configured that p mail has to preserve a copy of my mail on the pop-server (because i want to read my mail also on other computers), but everytime i open the program and p mail starts to download from the pop3-server, he downloads also previously downloads so i get double or triple or more of the same e mails in p-mail; how can this be avoided ?

thanks in advance

1.    Go to File | Network configuration | (Receiving)POP3.

2.    Highlight the POP3 configuration file of interest and select edit.

3.    Unselect "Delete retrieved mail on host".

4.    Select "Download controls" tab and select "Download only unread mail "

Now only unread mail will be retrieved.  It will take a lot longer if you never delete your mail on the POP3 host.

Hello Hanky,

You can use the function 'Selective mail download' under File. Make a choice which messages you will delete and/or let at the server.
