Win2003 AD enabled server. Don't know why it didn't work, but it was easy to
edit the smb.conf and get it working. I'm just saying that over the phone
with a paying customer they don't want the hassle. In this case I would have
had to make a more expensive service call to fix it. I'm not against linux.
I actually like it. At this point, and admittedly it may be because I don't
have enough knowledge, I don't recommend it for my customers as a desktop.
As a server I would have no qualms but they would be made aware of the extra
service costs that may be involved.

The most important reason I don't switch is because OE has never given me
any problems, does what I want it to do and I know my way round it well.
Even if Thunderbird offered this feature, I don't have the need or
inclination to switch.

If you read anything then it went into your .dbx files. So, yes, you
ARE storing messages in the .dbx files.
And? Deleting an item in Outlook [Express] does *not* remove it from
the database file but merely changes its status to "Deleted" so the
client won't display it anymore. The item is STILL in the database.
You need to compact the database to purge the delete-marked items.
Compacting your database will make it smaller. Accumuluting
delete-marked items within it only makes it bigger.
That should be often enough to keep the database files small enough for
speedy reindexing. Filtering can only delete the matching items (so,
again, their status has changed but they haven't been removed yet until
the compaction is performed). However, if you do something massive,
like synchronize on all messages to include their bodies or redownload
all headers then the size of the database increases immensely until you
compact it again.
If Thunderbird works well for you and does all you want then that is the
NNTP client you should use. I trialed Thunderbird for awhile, had to
use their newsgroup to get several questions asked, ended up having to
manually edit config and css files to get several OE-like functions to
appear in Thunderbird, gave up, and went back to OE. OE is my choice.
Thunderbird is yours. Okie dokie. Nothing wrong with either one.

data it's an insignificant size.

No kidding I guess that's how I could see that list of left overs. But
as I said above there is no need to compact a 10KB file or old files
from OE so I just deleted them.
"OE is my choice. Thunderbird is yours. Okie dokie. Nothing wrong with
either one."
I never told you nor implied in all my posts that you were wrong for
choosing OE. In fact one of my previous posts acknowledged it was a
user preference issue. Okie Dookie Vanguard?

You can, using Mr Postman or similar - but that's all academic now
anyway because MS have stopped pop access to Hotmail unless you have a

The Volvo effect. Years ago a study was conducted that concluded that while the
Volvo was in fact a well-built car, the biggest reason that you were safer in a
Volvo was due to the fact that people who bought the (at the time) dowdy,
conservative cars, tended to drive safely and conservatively.

But in this case we're talking apples to apples - the same malicious sites
viewed in Firefox and IE has less chance of impacting the firefox user
than it does the IE user.
