Check if the below setting is checked.

tab - Leave a Copy On The Server checkbox

Windows Mail is downloading only the inbox, which isn't being managed
efficiently on the server.

Either delete mail from the server, or create folders on the server and
move messages there.

Windows Mail has some shortcomings, as it apparently was rushed out the door
in order
to meet Vista release date. It has not and will not be updated, as it has
been "replaced" with the newer Windows Live Mail.
 
Microsoft does not read this forum since Windows Mail is obsolete.
It has been deprecated in favor of the newer Windows Live Mail.
 
OK GRanny here...and everyone from kids to business clients assumes it is a
'granny' problem. I am heated about this. Why in heavens name can't
Microsoft just 'update' something that we can download to fix this stupid
problem. if you need support on a petition, I'm here...how about others?
 
Did you just want to vent, or did you want to ask for help?
This forum is for the latter.
 
Does that mean I need to check my messages on the werver first, and then they
won't be in Windows Mail at all? If nthat's the case, can I uninstall
Windows Mail as a stand alone program? It certainly doesn't serve any
purpose, and I can't see jumpin form the frying pan into the fire by buying
Windows 7. Sorry I,m not tha technologically savvy to understand your reply
the first time around! SR
 
Go to Tools | Accounts and make sure you don't have two copies of the same
email account set up.
