    Hi all.As we know when using POP3 to retrive messages ,the messages is removed .Is it possible to configure a POP3 client to leave the email messages on the server ?Thanks....

    Yes, most mail clients offer this option somewhere in thier configuration.

    In javamail I think you can just not mark the "DELETE" flag and they will stay.

    Keep in mind you will have no way to tell which messages are new when you reconnect as POP3 apparently doesn't have any permanant flag options.

    Thank you for your reply travis...

    But i did not understatnd what the soliution is ?

    You said that if i don't mark them with the DELETE

    flag , then they will stay..

    Offcourse I am not marking them with the DELETE flag

    and i want them to stay..

    You know in IMAP the messages will not be deleted until you mark

    them with the DELETE flag.

    But with POP3 the messages is removed from the Mail Server

    as soon as you get them ...

    So please , is there any solution to this problem ,

    I want the messags to stay when using POP3

    Thanks .............
