Center For Peeksters Who Love Peeking

Help! I have only had my Peek for a couple of months but I have a major challenge with the inbox. Here is the situation and question. If before I go to work I clean out/have absolutely zero/nothing in my home inbox and then later around lunch I light off my Peek at work I find that I download scores and scores of emails. Granted a couple of them could be calendar reminders for that day or brand new emails but it appears that about 90%+ of the emails are ones I already looked at and deleted several days before. Question.. where in the blue blazes do emails in the inbox come from? I am spending 98% of my Peek time deleting old emails I already looked at days before. And for interest my sent and trash folders at home are cleared out too! Unless I can circumvent the requirement to delete all the time my Peek from work might prove too cumbersome. Thanks all. Alan

Alan,

The problem you're describe sounds a little familiar to me... A little while back, the folks that work behind the scenes at peek rolled out an update at their end of the system, and for some reason, some peeksters started recieving old email! If the cause of your problem is the same that happened during one of these updates, then it should be easily solved. Give customer care a call, and they will be more than happy to help you out.

Sean: Just a quickie. The only way I can phrase this is "when my Peek at home downloads and populates its inbox, where are the emails coming from, basically what are they if you get my question? I still can't understand if my home inbox is empty including new email, reminders, advertisements etc and then later I open Peek at say work why are there volumns of emails in the inbox especially ones I have already seen and deleted? I am going to try tonight to do an experiment at home. I am going to totally clean out my home inbox and my Peek inbox and then turn off/turn back on again and see what Peek downloads? I would be it will be much more than "0". Alan Hill

Alan - from what I'm gathering, you're not being affected by the problem I described earlier at all. Let me break it down for you:

The peek, for intensive purposes, only receives a "copy" of the email in your inbox. This is because the peek currently "peeks" at your email account - the part that is stored on your service provider's computer, not your home computer. Your home computer actually does the same thing - It just checks for new email and picks up a "copy" of it. Therefore, You Should see two copies of every email - one on the comp, one on the peek.

What you're describing is perfectly normal.

Sean: Let me take a wee while to digest your feedback. Back ASAP, I regret maybe with more questions. Alan
