Help, hijacked??

John - just found this thread. As I said in the other one (after I found this one - but it's a useful tip for others anyway), if you'd changed you settings to collect from john@joe.freeserve.co.uk rather than the default joe.freeserve.co.uk you'd have left all the other mail on their server (which is what Madferrit way saying back in 2005 - did you try that?)

If you want multiple first parts - you can set up multiple accounts in Outlook express - one for each first part.

The randomly addressed mail still gets delivered on to your freeserve space on the server, just never downloaded to your PC. So every now and again you do need to clear it down - either via webmail or by another Outlook Account that isn't normally used as part of send/receive, but has a rule to dump everything it receives to the deleted items folder (although having said that I think freeserve do some auto deletion of mail that is very old and has never been downloaded - as I have set several friends up like this and never had and issue with their server space filling up).

Of course all academic now as you've moved.

Hi Steve,
Yup I certainly tried ever single suggestion and providing I accessed the mail before it got onto my mail software I could delete it.

I registered

john@
wife@
daughter@
son@

I did NOT want a random helter skelter of posts and did not want an open type address and wrote a polite letter asking that only my registered addresses be actioned but freeserve simply said 'tough' (in a long winded way)

I had the 'Delete' setting rigged to delete all mail that had an 'Undelivered' word in the title but that also deleted posts that I might have made a small typo on, but the snag was I had to keep adding variations of the different types of refusal.

What really annoyed me was the intransigence of freeserve and the complete lack of interest and having read all the suggestions here and on the other thread it appears that it would have been a straight forward task to deal with. Instead, I voted with my feet and have never looked back. I am positive that eclipse is not the cheapest and no doubt it is not the best, but it is light years better than freeserve.

Thanks for the suggestions
Regards
John
