I'm vaguely interested on account of the fact I use the same POP server with a mail client I use at work, one I use at home, and also viewing through their web gui - and by default on some mail clients, it removes from the server whenever it downloads, which I don't want it to do, I want it to stay on the server. I had a look through the Alpine options, of which there are LOADS, but didn't see anything along the lines of "remove from server on downloading" I'm pretty sure it won't remove them, but I'd love to be sure before I start using it! Thanks, Phil J I was looking at this recently myself – if it’s a POP server you’re connecting to, does it actually ‘download’ the mails locally?
