Well, if the number of messages in your mailbox is reduced after you =0D
check mail from your Powerbook, this is no mystery. This could still be =0D=
consistent with the MTU problem.=0D

Well, there's only one PT100 -- the one from Scrawlsoft. =0D
<http://www.scrawlsoft.com/products/pt100/info.html>.=0D
=0D
But the only outcome of this experiment is just to determine whether =0D
you are encountering the same UIDL/MTU problem I have experienced in =0D
the past. I'm not sure if your problem is caused by this bug or =0D
something else. If yes, there's really no solution (other than possibly =0D=
changing your MTU value in your router, but I don't know if this is =0D
possible with the Airport Base Station) since there's no way to change =0D=
NIE's MTU/MRU settings.=0D

Does your ISP support IMAP4? I have not encountered this problem when =0D=
using that protocol.=0D
