hi Uday, I've been trying the headers-only from time to time, and it works fine.  I only wish I could mark messages for deletion and delete them without having to download them.  admittedly I didn't try the offline idea.  seemed complicated, but perhaps I should give it a try.  the whole thing isn't critical for me, I still mostly download my email using imap.  thanks for asking, though, cheers, E
