If you have Mail leave messages on the POP server and copy yourself on outgoing, you can test Mail while leaving the possibility (with some effort) of returning to and updating your Eudora base. -- John Varela Trade NEWlamps for OLDlamps for email

This works very smoothly in practice. I did it when migrating from one system disk to another - effectively it didn't matter which system disk I was booted into, my mail was always up to date (even if it meant downloading it twice, i.e. once for each system). Just make sure that your POP server keeps read messages for a decent amount of time (e.g. a week). -- Paul Sture |
