Re: Does not erase messages on server

[Robert Eisig <quantumchaos666@xxxxxxx>]

I am somehow stuck now with mutt on windows, because it doesn't erase 
the messages on the server after downloading new incoming messages.

Is there another possibility to get the Messages from my Email-Provider 
to my inbox (unix mailbox, local filesystem), with another windows 
application?

Sorry for asking this again.

Thank you
Robert
