[DEMUG] e-mail

[Darene Powell]

I have 10.4 but I don't see the option you explained.  The  
complication is that they were downloaded and then disappeared or the  
actual message was removed when I disabled the account.  It did that  
for everything that was connected to that mailbox throughout my mail  
program.

Thanks.
