Hello! I sure hope someone can help me with this problem. I travel a lot for
work and need to access my e-mails via the Web (mchsi.com). However, right
now Windows Mail is deleting my messages from the server as soon as they're
downloaded -- so although my messages appear on my home computer, I can't see
them via the Web. (I used to be able to do this with Outlook. We just
purchased a new computer and now have Vista.) Does anyone know what I can do
about this -- is there a setting I need to change somewhere? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

Click to expand...

Click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then Properties,
then
Advanced. If there's no checkmark in the box before Leave a copy of
messages
on server, click on this box, then Apply. It's a good idea to also select
one of
the methods of eventually deleting the messages from the server, to keep it
from having so many of your messages that it starts refusing to accept any
more.
Click on Apply, then OK, then Close.

A few email servers refuse to accept the requests to do this, though, so try
it
before you start the trip.
