Just want to confirm something. According to documentation, when I download gmail onto a pop client whether it is deleted or not is determined by gmail setting, NOT by the email client,. So if I set thunderbird to "delete" email from server immediately when I download there is no danger of actually deleting anything. But that setting will make the download work better.

True?

If that is the way they are running their POP system then it is not running according to the POP standards.

Firefox has stopped letting me type into any boxes or the nav bar. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I can type in explorer and word, so it is not the keyboard. Any ideas?

This is kinda a stupid question. I set up both the SO's & my email accounts, plus our shared company accounts on the Pro Tools machine, because we were having tech issues with our other gear. Now I want to separate those back out, stripping it back to just the shared accounts in Mail. But I see that there's a "delete account" command, which is only visible when I'm on a subfolder of my IMAP account. It gives me a dire warning. If I delete it, will it be deleting it on the server too? I don't want to do that, just remove it from Mail.

Update. Good news. Just the pathway and original email were enough. My parents are out of that contract with no penalty. And, for what it's worth, the woman who tampered with the email is probably losing her job.

oh, awesome. That the matter is closed.

The woman needs to lose her job.

Good, Cass.

Oh, that's great, Cass. Simple and JUSTICE. The Tick would be proud.

Simple and JUSTICE.

Yes.

And thank you all so much. Having this thread was invaluable because I could give her suggestions when she was freaking out. Okay, and I was stressed about it too.

Yeah, this is a great thread.
