receive header only if message size > 0
 
#1

Trying to deal with spam. I want to only initially receieve the headers of all mail. The plan is to sift through the headers, deleting spam by subject, and then download the real email afterwards.

But the 'receive header only if message size > 0' option doesn't seem to work; the whole email is still downloading. Is this option server dependent, or parhaps it will only work with an LDAP account and not pop3?

Any ideas?
Thanks.

It's possible that this function only works when you've set a size, so try to download only the headers for messages > 1 kB
For myself I'd use the mail dispatch for this purpose.
Account -> Dispatch mail on server
That functionality is meant to be used when you want to decide for every message whether to download it or just to delete it from server.

Wow... thanks for that mail dispatcher information.
I hadn't noticed that feature; it's beautiful!

> so try to download only the headers for messages > 1 kB

I haven't tested that, because the dispatcher does exactly what I needed.

Cheers.
