	FAQ - DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE - FOLDER INTERNAL DATA?

Solution Occasionally, you may receive an email of this kind:

DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system
software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be
re-created with the data reset to initial values.

The reason:
Using an IMAP client (eg webmail) and a POP client can lead to this message being generated.

The message is automatically created by IMAP clients for internal record keeping and is ignored (not displayed) by most email clients.

You can ignore this message. If this message is downloaded to your desktop via a POP client, you can delete it.
