Also, this solution has worked for over 10 years (since ~ 1998 in fact, though I've had the account since 1995.). My creaky old PalmPilot Professional handled it fairly successfully, my long gone Handspring Visor also handled it, and my Sharp Zaurus Sl5500 did a reasonable job too. Modest seemed to work, until it decided to take unreasonable amounts of time to sync the headers. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Modest, per se, but it should be able to handle this situation gracefully too. Matt
