to not dl mess on set up

I installed WLM on a vista computer. I added hotmail and gmail accounts
successfully. I had the option (cannot remember where) on set up to only
receive new messages that I receive and not all the older ones (I have
thousands of old ones that I do not want to download to wlm). I then
upgraded my yahoo mail to allow pop mail access. When I set up the yahoo
account on wlm there was no option to just receive new messages and it
started to download many of the thousand messages there, so I just closed it.

Can you tell me where to find that option to just download all new messages
received. Do I need to delete the yahoo mail account on wlm and then
reinstall it?

thank you.

That option, download only new messages, is unique to Gmail.
With other providers, like Yahoo, you will have to access the account
via webmail, then move all the messages you don't want downloaded
to a folder other than Inbox. POP clients only download from the
server's Inbox folder.

Thanks. Do you know...if I move all the yahoo messages out of the inbox, run
wlm, once with yahoo, then move the yahoo messages back into the yahoo inbox,
will the problem be eliminated, or will it just repeat itself?

I'm pretty sure WLM would treat the messages moved back into the
server Inbox as new messages and would download those.
You could test it by moving just one message back.

Mark the messages on the Yahoo Mail server as read.
Pop3 access in a mail client only downloads unread messages.

I just tested this with my Yahoo account.
The read message was subsequently downloaded by the POP client!
My understanding is that downloading is inhibited only when the
message resides in a folder other than Inbox, or if it has been
downloaded previously by that POP client.
