That's interesting.  At one point, I wrote my own mail fetching Perl script that added X-POP-UIDL and X-POP-Server headers to each message.  That way, I could selectively delete the messages from the originating server.

If I set an "all delete_on_server" filter on my trash folder, when does that get activated?  I'm assuming this will let me kill the server copies of messages I've deleted locally.

Great!  Thanks.  So if I replace both the Mail directory and the .sylpheed directory, I should be good as new, and ready to re-fetch those messages.

Sounds good.  Unfortunately, I don't have a file server machine at home. Ultimately, that's the way I'd like to go ... have one server that's accessible from home or office (or other remote location), so I can read and manipulate just one set of messages.

Thanks
