Works for me.

While on the subject of deleting pop link messages....

FastMail has a unique philosophy, all email will be deleted, but you can delay for a configurable period of time (max as long as 6 months) if need be.

The traditional or most typical philosophy gives the user 4 different options:
  • retrieve new, leave messages on server(marking them read)
  • retrieve new, delete new messages on server
  • retrieve all, leave messages on server
  • retrieve all, delete all messages on server
I find the traditional philosphy more elegant. Any reasons for implementing the unique approach? Not really a big deal for me, I have fastmail delete my messages right away, so either approach works for me. Just curious...
