There is an option on Thunderbird to leave messages on server, with a sub check box that you can check that says "Until I delete or move them from inbox."
ita & I like being able to selectively decide, on a message by message basis, whether to delete something from the server.

Oh, I think I understand what you're saying. This is what I get for posting at 5:30am. You could set up a special folder to keep emails that you want to save in Thunderbird, but delete from the server? Yeah, that's better than nothing...

Right now I have saved in Eudora and deleted from the server emails filed by topic, not by where they're stored. It would take a lot of rework (and inability to find things, given my retention span) to jigger that.
jumping in to cry about the stupid problem i'm having in Yahoo, of all places, when I try to compose a message in it from my work computer. My address book looks all wonky. The Mail Shortcut controls(?) are showing up as a list down the right side and I can only access the first page of the address book. When I click NEXT to go to the next page or try to select a page with the address grouping drop-down list I get an "Error on Page" message in the bottom left corner of the address book pop-up window.
And then there's the problem I've been having dealing with flickr here for the last two weeks. Same kind of thing is happening with the links. And it's taking FOREVER to load. And when I click on a picture I get a "Stack Overflow" or some such message...I'm trying to figure out what exactly the message is now but it's taking TOO LONG to load.
Does that make any sense at all? It is really going to make me cry!

Now that I'm (a little) more awake, I see what the real problem with this option is. Once you file a message from the inbox into a folder, it will be deleted from the server. That would mess me up bigtime. I have installations of Eudora on my work and home computers, and I like having access to all my messages from each of them. With Thunderbird, I wouldn't be able to file a message until I had downloaded it onto both machines. That's very impractical.
(yes, I know that a web-based app would make sense. I've been looking into that as well)
So who knows Javascript? I can't remember exactly how this works...
Say I got this bit of HTML (The WritePayPeriodCombo() is ASP and will be replaced before the client machine sees it):
<select name="cboPayPeriod" id="cboPayPeriod" LANGUAGE="javascript" onchange="return cboPayPeriod_onchange();"><%WritePayPeriodCombo()%></select>
Does it make any difference whatsoever in this html what the cboPayPeriod_onchange() function returns? I sorta remember that for this sort of thing, Javascript functions should return 'false', but I'm not sure.
eta: The reason I'm asking is currently cboPayPeriod_onchange() always returns 'false,' but the function is called in other places besides here, and I want it to return 'true' sometimes....
Kinda cool new laptop from Intel. They say it will be manufactured by some PC Maker late 2007 or 2008. 0.7 inches thick and 2.25 pounds.
World's Thinnest Laptop
I don't know enough about how they cool off laptops, but a laptop that thin sounds like it's just begging for heat problems.
It uses your crotch as a heatsink.
But only if you're man enough.
I feel old-fashioned, but as much as I like the epaper folio cover, part of me screams MAGNETS!!!! AIEEEE!!!
