    I have the opposite problem. I have dialup at home and occasionally someone sends me their entire photo album and my connection times out. I have tried to go online from work and deleted the file and it still tries to download that file. It must get stuck in a queue somewhere. The only solution I've found is to read all the email on line, and set the options to only send emails from this date forward. I sure wish gmail had a flush button.

    Well it's still a beta. I think they'll fix these issues. Do you know where I can post some feedback regarding Gmail? There usually are places like that for beta products. If a lot of people need certain features, they might just implement them. regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

                Coding standard especially used for .NET. Variable names are composed of joined names first one starting with lowercase following capitalized. camelCaseLooksLikeThis. Of course there is also UpperCamelCase. But for .Net the first is wider used. regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

                  Is it possible to confugure Gmail acount so that two mail applications can receive all messages which arrive on a account? My time is shared between my home and work computer. Mail I receive in Outlook at work does not come in, on my home computer and viceversa. Yes, the option to leave messages on server is checked :) regards, Mircea Many people spend their life going to sleep when they’re not sleepy and waking up while they still are.

                  That's an email client problem, not a server problem. Some clients (I know Eudora does this, I don't know about others) can be set to check the ID for each message (using the UIDL POP command) and keep track of which IDs it's downloaded, and ignore the "has been read" flag on each mail. If your client does this, then you can use it in two locations and get the result you want.

                        Not sure, as I said I only know Eudora. *shrug* Gmail's POP might not support UIDL, if that's the case then you're SOL

                                  Of course not, the POP3 server has marked that message as delivered so will no deliver it again. If it didn't you would constantly keep recieving the same messages time and time again. The solution to this long known problem was IMAP and Exchange style mail servers

                                  That is not the observed behaviour of my home/work email setup. I never receive messages twice at home (where I "peek"), nor do I miss any messages at work (where I "pop").

                                    Sure!:-D In Outlook Express you can, probably Outlook, as well. Under Tools/Accounts select the account and view the properties. In the Advanced tab there's a checkbox that says, "Leave a copy of messages on server." Check it on the computer that you use first - work maybe - and leave it unchecked on the other. I do that with my campus account so I can check mail there from home and work, but then I use webmail to empty the read messages.

                                          With most POP servers, you can telnet in (using your POP3 server and port details), list mail (with sizes) and delete the offending articles. I've done it on occasion. All you're doing is using the same interface as the mail client. See this page[^] for more details.
