Okay, but WHICH? POP or IMAP?
one of the accounts is yahoo and the other is comcast.
Don't know about Yahoo (thought they only had POP). Comcast only has
POP.
For POP, follow Pat's advice. That means your POP client will not do a
RETR/DELE (retrieve and delete) but just the RETR. Because the messages
are not getting deleted from the mail server, you'll have to do the
cleanup yourself (using the webmail interface) to ensure you don't eat
up all your disk quota with that account.
