I don't see any bad things. I'll open IMAP folder, saw huge message and will delete it - just ON the server. What's the problem with the mail protiocols? If I use SMCP - OK, this message will have low priority and will not delay otherts. And then are you expecting to use SMCP over dialup link with your notebook? Just again - if you have some technology problems, use better technology, not limit the services. >
