Thanks for the suggestion, Olivier. I had thought about IMAP, but it has been
slow on the account where I use it (thankfully I don't get much email there),
and I also wanted to download messages onto my machine. If offlineimap really
works, maybe that's the way to try. I will check it out.
Still, if anyone has a nice POP3 solution, I'd certainly listen. I _suspect_
I'd have less to learn (and less to set up) that way.
Bill
