Hi all.  $.02 on Mail.app......

I go along for long periods of time, with Mail deleting mail from the 
.Mac server just fine.  Then, every once in awhile, I check my .Mac 
email via a browser, and discover email in my InBox on the .Mac server 
that I read through Mail.app a week earlier.  I don't have any 
scientific data to back this up, but I know it has happened.  It's 
sporadic.  I haven't noticed Mail.app leaving email on my other mail 
servers, but I don't ever check up on it like I can with .Mac.

I have found that Mail is catching at least 75% of the spam I receive 
through my .Mac account and depositing it into my Junk box.  It's the 
least effective with spam that has no Subject - I even get some with no 
Subject and nothing in the Body either.  I am very diligent in 
assigning spam to the Junk box when it slips into my InBox.

I have also found Mail to be exceptionally stable.

Just some thoughts.  Thanks for listening.

Pete
