And the only thing that I can see off-hand with pop3 is if the client is not issuing the server update command with is QUIT. In other words, your device mail app and/or connectivity is dropping rather than gracefully closing then session. The explicitly issued QUIT command is the only way the server to know you successful got your mail and can begin some backend marking of reception. -- Hector Santos http://www.santronics.com
