[pmmail-list] How to stop duplicate messages

[Larry Alkoff]

I don't know anything about the "remote login feature" of PMMail.
Threre is nothing in the help files I can find
unless this has to do with the "Receive Using Remote Control" option.

I wasn't really able to understand what the remote control option was about
from reading the help.
Could you please explain?

How would I "delete the duplicates prior to re-doing the download"?

Thank you
Larry
