Hi Doug,

Does this mean that emails listed in the Inbox are still in the POP3 server 
and have not really been retrieved yet ? And if so, they would be retrieved 
from the pop3 server only when the user moves those emails to some other 
folder ? Is this correct or am I getting the picture all wrong? Because if 
it is correct, I would only have to tweak the code (if no easier way is 
possible) so that the only folder available at all times would be the Inbox...
BTW: Instructing users, as far as I'm concerned, is like howling at the 
moon :-) No effect whatsoever! If there's a button "don't press here or 
something terrible wil happen" then the first thing they would do would be 
to press that button :-) I have to come up with a scenario where they 
really can't move their emais from the server unless they are deleting 
them. Otherwise I'll have complaints like: "oh Yesterday I used Neomail to 
check my emails, I can see them there in my brand new WHATEVER folder but 
today my Outlook tells me my account is empty, It has to be your fault, 
your server really sucks" :-) I get that kind of complaint a lot, mostly 
from people who have no idea what they are doing and of course, have not 
read the instructions.

Sorry for all these neomail-newbie doubts and questions but I just found 
Neomail and I need to know if it'll get the job done before I actually put 
it to real use.

Thanks,
Carlos.
