POP Peeper is a good little program but doesnt serve my purposes. I need a
mail reader that will leave copies of the original emails on the Yahoo and
Hotmail servers. POP Peeper doesnt do it, it deletes the emails off the
servers. Anyone know of a program that will allow me to see all the mail
from numerous accounts yet leave copies of the original messages on their
respective servers?
 
Hey there,

POP Peeper is a good little program but doesnt serve my purposes. I need a
mail reader that will leave copies of the original emails on the Yahoo and
Hotmail servers. POP Peeper doesnt do it, it deletes the emails off the
servers. Anyone know of a program that will allow me to see all the mail
from numerous accounts yet leave copies of the original messages on their
respective servers?

Have you tried this one? I use it to check my headers and remove SPAM
before using Pegasus to download the mail I want to keep:

Poppy for Windows
http://www.yoursurfice.com/Content/Poppy/Poppy.htm

<quotes from the page>
Poppy for Windows is a small utility that you can use on your Windows
PC. It will notify you when you have mail waiting on the POP3 server
of your Internet provider (or Internet providers). Poppy can check
multiple POP3 servers and check for new messages at regular time
intervals.

Poppy needs a working internet connection and is typically used in
combination with an ‘always on’ internet connection, such as a cable
or DSL connection. It can be used with a dial-up connection, but that
is not very effective.

Once you have started Poppy, you will see an icon in the so-called
system tray or taskbar notification area. When Poppy detects that mail
is available on any of the configured POP3 servers, it will let you
know by changing the taskbar icon. Optionally, Poppy can also play a
sound, execute an external program (like your e-mail program) or show
a popup window containing a notification message.

In addition to it’s main purpose, which is e-mail notification, it can
also display the headers of individual e-mail messages, preview the
e-mail message source and delete individual messages from the POP3
server.

The dialog that is used to display the headers of e-mail messages,
uses selection rule to determine which e-mail messages should be
selected. Once these messages are selected, you can delete them from
the POP3 server. The selection rules are configured using the Options
dialog. This feature is especially helpfull when you receive SPAM
messages that you quickly want to delete from the POP3 server.

If the mail is POP3 there are programs that will help. I use POP3 Scan
Mailbox from http://www.kempston.net/smb/download.html. It's not being
developed any more, but is useful as it is. You can setup rules to
autodelete mail, but you can look at the headers and download messages
in raw format to check that you really want to download an item.

Another way to work is to use SpamPal in conjunction with Pegasus mail.
SpamPal uses up-to-date lists of junkmailers and is pretty accurate; it
prefixes the "Subject:" with "**SPAM**" or any other string you want.
You can then use Pegasus to look at the headers without downloading
bodies (Selective mail download option), sort by subject, block-select
the marked junk and select the items for deletion, check visually that
you are downloading only what you want and deleting the rest, and do it.

Spampal can also check bodies to flag anything that looks like junk, bit
obviously can't do this if you are downloading headers only.

Another program to use instead of POP3 Scan Mailbox is Vallen POP3 Mail
Checker. It may be advantageous, but I haven't used it much as the other
is OK,

HTH,

This is a totally wrong statement.
POPpeeper does NOT delete anything anywhere, unless you specifically instruct it
to.

just keep your fingers off the delete key, and nothing will be deleted.

I second that. I have emails in my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts that have
been there for months. Nothing gets deleted unless I tell it to.

The POP Peeper FAQ has 2 entries that might help you with that:

# When POP Peeper retrieves email, the messages are being deleted off
the server and my email client can't pick up the messages. Is POP Peeper
deleting the messages?

POP Peeper only deletes messages when you tell it to; however, some
servers automatically delete messages when they are retrieved. You might
be able to circumvent this "feature" by specifying that the account
download a preview of the message instead of the entire message. Even if
the preview results in downloading the entire message, it may prevent
the server from deleting the messages.

For each account that you need to modify:
- edit the account
- go to "advanced"
- set "retrieval option" to "preview"
- set the "Num Lines"...

To approximate what you need for the number of lines: assume 1 line is
about 100 bytes (80 is an even closer approximation). So if you want to
set a ceiling of about 1 meg per message, set the number of lines to
10,000. If you want to get the entire message regardless of size, set it
to 500,000 (max message size of about 50 megs).

This may not work for all servers, but has been successful for most
people (I have not heard from a case where it did not work). Please note
that most pop3 servers do not automatically delete messages.

....

# What does the option "Delete Mail Immediately" do?

This is a somewhat subtle option. If the option is checked, then a
command to delete the message(s) will be added to the queue. The delete
will be executed when any current activity is completed. If this option
is unchecked, then the message(s) won't be deleted until the next time
the messages' accounts are checked. This is more efficient than deleting
immediately.

Note: This option is available on the "Configuration" page only when
"Enable Advanced Options" is checked (also on the "Configuration" page)
