cheers();Great idea, but according to the Kmail handbook (Kmail does have filtering on the server), you still have to download the headers in order for the filters to work. So any message that you keep for download is effectively downloaded twice - first to get the headers for the filter, and then to get the message for your inbox.Nope, the message isn't downloaded twice (or at least hasn't to). Even with POP3 there is an (optional) command 'TOP n m' to get the header and the first m lines of mail n. So 'TOP n 0' only gets the header.
Well, that does save some bandwidth, at least. Still, you are getting the headers no matter what. It seems (if I understand right) that the idea here is to make fetching mail work like fetching news...get all the headers, filter them, then do a delete/fetch on the bodies once the headers have been filtered. Is that what you have in mind? -- Bill Hartwell <raven macmanusnet net> MacManus Enterprises
