From the doc: Note: The POP3 support is there only for convenience, and it's rather limited. If you need more functionality you should consider using a specialized program, such as fetchmail. If you are using an external (eg ISP) pop account then you should probably be using fetchmail which has an option to limit the size of message. If you are receiving your messages directly and are concerned with hd space you can junk them with procmail (or exim filters :P). Thats why unix is better imho than other os like win: there is not one big app but many small apps which are working together. This makes it much more customizeables, and also easier to upgrade. Some people like the win philosophy of having one do-it-all program, this is a matter of taste. True, those will maybe regret OE... -Lex
