Our Network Admin at my office is now blocking all ports over 1000. He also blocks Pop3 and SMTP. Yes, he is very paranoid. Anyhow, now I can't read or send my TCH email from work. This is a real problem. So, I signed up for Yahoo! And started using that to check my TCH email. Only problem is that every time I check for "New" messages, I get everything in my inbox (on each account). I asked Yahoo about this and here was their response:
Hello Gary,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.
The POP3 protocol, which we use to retrieve messages from your External
Mail accounts, provides a command named LAST. It determines the last
message "seen" on the External Mail server, at any time and from any
computer. When you use the "Retrieve new messages only" option, we use
this command to distinguish those messages which are new and should be
downloaded from those which have already been seen.
Although nearly all mail servers support the LAST command, a few do not.
If you happen to be using one that doesn't, then when you click the
"Check Mail" link, all of the messages in your Inbox will be retrieved
rather than only the new messages.
Do the TCH servers support the "Last" command? Would you have any suggestions as to how I might resolve this problem?
Thanks!!
Gary
