Unless there's something wierd going on at your POP3 server, the default behavior of PHP's IMAP libraries is that messages are marked for deletion using the imap_delete() function, and actually deleted from the server using imap_expunge(). (An expunge can also be done automatically when you close the IMAP connection by including the CL_EXPUNGE flag in either your imap_open() or imap_close() call.) In other words: Don't worry..messages shouldn't be deleted from the server until you tell the server to delete them. --- Mark Roedel | "The most valuable function performed by Systems Programmer | the federal government is entertainment" LeTourneau University | Longview, Texas, USA | -- Dave Barry
