POP3 and IMAP message retrieval w/o deletion from server

[Brian Clemency]

First timer,...
Wondering if there is any way to retrieve messages from a POP3 account
without deleting those messages from the server. I have a small business and
use a company called homestead to host and support our website. When I
retrieve messages from the server, I want to be able to leave those messages
on the server so that I can access those messages from a different machine,
or have my business partner access those same messages from his desktop.
Said differently, I have a general account that I would like to use with
Outlook while allowing multiple people to access that inbox without
downloading messages to the machine and deleting them from the server.

AOL Open ride offers an option to leave messages on a server, and I am
wondering if there is a similar feature somewhere in OE.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Brian

I think you've posted this in the wrong forum, this one being devoted to
Microsoft Access, the database program. That said, I think you'll find
that Outlook Express lets you set the option for a mail account to leave
the messages on the server. It's on the Advanced tab of the mail
account's property sheet.
