Something else must be happening. I regularly crash test versions of Eudora while transferring mail with popper, and have yet to lose a single message. I'm running popper 1.7b4 (the final release of popper was 1.7, so I'm a bit behind the times). Older versions of popper (1.6) sometimes lost mail under the right circumstances (not broken connections, but arrival of new mail while popper had the mailbox open). -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
