Store messages locally on PC vs. ISP Server

[ags]

I have an email account with my ISP (CHarter.net)

Problem: When I login to my ISP account, only current messages show up. I
think my home PC downloads all messages and erases them from the server.
Question: How do I keep a copy of my email messages on thier server?

This is normal behavior for a POP account; if you have two computers that
access it, the last one to connect downloads and removes whatever messages
are present on the server. To fix this, set both computers to "Leave a copy
of mail on the server" and set one of them (doesn't matter which) to "Remove
from server after (xx) days". These settings are under
"Tools|Accounts|Properties|Advanced tab".
