Interesting, Erisa (L).
Not something that I have ever encountered with my ISP
(Pacific Internet).
Quite the reverse. I always log in to my Webmail first (from
anywhere that I like) to delete the rubbish mail in huge chunks from a
pick list, then I log out and (when home) download my E-mail to Eudora
Pro Email, having it set to delete the mail off the server.
Must be a "BigSwamp" based problem.
Cheers,
Michael

If you are using bigpond, then mail downloaded from your normal (telstra)=
=20
bigpond address should go straight on to your server and be deleted from =
the=20
bigpond server.
However if you do it a different way and download using Webmail, the mail=
=20
will appear in your inbox but will not be deleted from the bigpond server=
. =20
(it probably also goes on to your server as well........)
So then when you next log in to your own mailbox via the telstra(bigpond)=
=20
address, you will get all the messages again, that you already downloaded=
=20
via Webmail, hence the duplication.
Austarnet is a much, much, much, much, much faster dialup service than=20
Bigpond, in my experience. And is cheaper too. (cant tell you how go=
od=20
its filtering is, though. But Bigpond often filters out stuff you want t=
o=20
get)
