I'm confused, lost how?  Surely each email is stored on my HD as
it's downloaded?  I know that in the past, when a connection has
been lost, when I dial up again I got all the already-downloaded
messages a second time, so if it had been a power failure instead
of connection failure, wouldn't the same be true?
