Maud had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

I opened OE, which automatically d/l email from my gmail account.
Shortly thereafter, the power cord on my PC was knocked out of place.
Fortunately, when I re-booted all was well, except the most recently
d/l email messages were no longer in my inbox. But they won't d/l
again, because somewhere they are apparently logged as having been
d/l already. I don't think this is a gmail setting, because I seem to
remember wanting to d/l some email again from my previous ISP's
server, and not being able to. Does anyone know if there is a way to
get OE to d/l the same email messages, which remain in a webmail
account, more than once? Thanks for any help. (OE6, SP2)


Go back to Gmail - in the settings there is an option to enable for all
mail. You may need to deselect it and then apply and then select and apply
for it to work.

Galen - Thanks for the help. I'm fairly new to gmail, and was unfamiliar with this setting. After my initial changes to the gmail setting, I d/l a lot of email I hadn't gotten around to either archiving or deleting, all except the very ones I wanted! I then deleted the .dbx file as suggested by Ron Sommers a 2nd time, d/l from gmail again, got a whole bunch of stuff I will have to delete again, but I also got what I needed. Thanks so much to you guys for your prompt, helpful replies!
