Copy of Messages on Server

A

Anthony Robinson

I set up two accounts in Vista mail. For both accounts I select "Leave a Copy of Messages on Server". I download the message and it does still appear in my inbox when I access my mail online.

The issue is that if I check my mail via Outlook Express on a different machine, that message doen't download...

Anyone ever see this?

Did you remember to use "Leave a Copy of Messages on Server"
on the XP machine also? Without that setting, whichever computer
downloads mail first will make it unavailable for the other computers.

That's the problem...I set the Leave Messages on Server setting on my Vista machine - that's the one that I access my mail with first. The same thing just happened again today....

I checked my mail on my Vista machine, I have "leave messages on server selected", I go to my XP machine and it did not download one message...

What email provider are you using? Some of them won't leave messages
on the server after you download them even if you tell them to.

Some mail servers do not honor the request to leave a copy on the server.

The behavior is odd. The messages are still visible when I go to the GMail web site, but they're not downloaded to my XP machine if they're viewed by my Vista machine first...

Gmail is one of those odd providers who have their own rules.
By default, messages on the Gmail server can only be downloaded
once. They have a workaround for this problem:

I am familiar with how to access pop accounts from any microsoft program like
express or windows mail. I have had no problem in the past with express.
With Vista and Windows Mail I have the option checked in Advanced features to
leave a copy of the message on the server. However, everytime I access
Windows Mail it downloads the message and does not leave it on the server. I
have a Gateway and they are supposed to support the operating system but they
dont have an answer other than to re-install windows which I do not want to
do. as anyone seen this issue as well?

express on it. it seems to be a bug with windows mail.

Strange that only your copy of Windows Mail has that 'bug'.
You might toggle the 'leave copy on server" feature on and off
a couple of times, restarting Windows Mail each time.

if they're viewed by my Vista machine first...

I've never seen anything like this before...
What email provider are you using? Some of them won't leave messages
on the server after you download them even if you tell them to.
That's the problem...I set the Leave Messages on Server setting on my Vista machine - that's the one that I access my mail
with first. The same thing just happened again today....

I checked my mail on my Vista machine, I have "leave messages on server selected", I go to my XP machine and it did not
download one message...
Did you remember to use "Leave a Copy of Messages on Server"
on the XP machine also? Without that setting, whichever computer
downloads mail first will make it unavailable for the other computers.

I set up two accounts in Vista mail. For both accounts I select "Leave a Copy of Messages on Server". I download the
message
and
it does still appear in my inbox when I access my mail online.

The issue is that if I check my mail via Outlook Express on a different machine, that message doen't download...

Anyone ever see this?
