Downloading duplicate POP-mails after reinstalling
Thanks Frank, but is there no way to avoid downloading them at all?

I've reinstalled OE6 and kept my mails via settings wizard. But now, when
I
connect OE wants to re-download all mails I've left on the Yahoo server.
This
would be a big mess and I've stopped it, but how can I avoid it and just
resume with my new mails? I tried marking mails as read via IE but no
luck.
1. Open OE and go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write
down where OE is storing its data files.
2. Close OE.
3. Go there with Windows Explorer (with Win2K and WinXP you will have to set
Windows Explorer to show hidden files (Tools | Folder Options | View).
4. Delete Pop3uidl.dbx
5. The messages should download once more, but that's it.
