Hi, Benny.

Thanks for that. MailMate was starting to lock up.

The email account in question repeatedly keeps downloading thousands of 
messages & I've tried all avenues to get it to cease its behaviour but 
to no avail...

MailMate looks great though :-)

Thanks again for your help,

Regards,

      Phil...
