Do cookies maintain the record of last email taken from the server

It seems that when I use the free avg to find and remove cookies. WLM begins
to pull down old mail from my mail server (I leave mail on the server for
quite a long time).
If cookies maintain the record of last mail message downloaded, which cookie
should I not delete?

If not a cookie, what is happening to my WLM that is causing all the old
mail to download?

Not sure whether this is the case. Look into your cookie folder whether
there is one that would qualify. Type SHELL:COOKIES into Start/Search
and hit enter. There you can also delete the cookies at will.
Another story are tracking cookies. To delete those, I run Spybot or
SuperAntiSpyware.

I presume that you are talking about a POP3 account.

Who is the mail provider? If Gmail, some special considerations apply.

I wouldn't expect WLM to be using a cookie for that. When a POP3
client leaves messages on the server, it needs to keep the UIDL of every
message that has been previously downloaded, but not yet deleted from
the server. Not just the last one. A cookie isn't really suitable for
that.

I've presumed that WLM uses the Mail.MSMessageStore to track the UIDL.
But I don't know that for a fact.

If your anti-virus set to scan e-mail as it downloads or are you running
any anti-spam software on your PC? Either of those might be involved
with your issue.
