[X Newbies] Mail

[matblack at mac.com]

The problem is that A) I already deleted the account and lost all my 
mail (boy was that an annoying pain in the... and a total hassle to 
retreive) but for some reason some vestige of it is hanging around... 
I'm in Jaguar btw.

If anyone happens to recall the script?

It's not that big a deal I guess, it's just annoying...
