As far as I can remember from last time I looked, vm-pop has the following that are lacking in pop3.el: allows specifying of email size limits progress indicator cacheing of UID's to allow for deleting mail later There's probably many others. -- Robert Pluim Tel: +33 4 92 96 17 43 Systems Development Engineer Fax: +33 4 92 96 15 32 <URL: mailto:rpluim＠baynetworks.com> Bay Networks EMEA, 25 Allee Pierre Ziller, 06560 Valbonne, France
