(Ok the last one I haven't found yet.) Seems that modest mail is trying now to download every mail I've received in the last 6 months or so, including all of my previously discarded junk etc. All 29,938 mails. Not cool. Any idea how I can get it to stop doing this without pissing off the win-admin and shooting the exchange server? ;) On the up side. everything else works like a charm...... Beta's should always be this smooth. James
