How do I STOP using Windows mail?

[Jane]

I was trying to set up Windows mail and having trouble with it. Sort of got
it working but not 100%. Anyway, now I wish I hadn't set it up because I
realized I'll only be able to get my mail when I'm actually on my own
computer. Instead, I want to be able to access my mail from any computer
with Internet access. I have a Godaddy e-mail account and I want to continue
to log into Godaddy from anywhere to get my mail.

Now that I've started the process of setting up Windows mail for my Godaddy
e-mail address, my Godaddy inbox is emptied out. I wish it wasn't. I still
want to get my mail at Godaddy.

How can I "shut off" my Windows Mail function and go back to having my mail
delivered to my Godaddy inbox?

Try this: TOOLS > ACCOUNTS > REMOVE. That will remove your account and it
will not access your GoDaddy account any more. Be warned though, it will
also remove any email you have in your Inbox...so if there's something
important, you may want to save it separately by dragging it into your LOCAL
FOLDERS > INBOX.

Windows Mail will not delete emails when an account is deleted,
however, Windows Live Mail does (but it warns you first).

You are 99% of the way there, all that you need to do to get all your mail
in WM or on line, is to set WM to leave a copy of your mail on the server
for a reasonable period of time.
Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>advanced tab, all the options
are at the bottom of the dialogue.
