OK, thanks to both of you. That's a big help. I didn't know that pop3 only checks inbox *by definition* That's the answer to my problem. Unfortunately, I used to use imap for a brief period about 3 years ago, but it turned out that my ISP was offering that for free only on trial. Now, it's for an extra fee, so I had to revert to pop3. With gmail, I could try imap again, since I recall liking it, back when I had tried it on my ISP, but I do not want important/financial/business/etc mail going through gmail. I realize that all email is insecure in transit, but I would like to believe that at least the servers of my ISP are trustworthy enough to warrant my confidence and my business and my loyalty. That's why I pay them. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
