Dave said:As you have noticed, WM by default deletes mail on the server after it has
been downloaded. This is to prevent your server inbox from filling up.
Most ISP's have a limit. You can set WM to leave messages on the server,
but you probably should have it delete them after a few days.
Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced
[x] Leave a copy of messages on server
[x] Remove from server after xx days

John H said:I use Cox webmail. If I log into their mail system at cox.net my inbox is
empty, because every time Windows Mail send/recieves it deletes the
original
message.
How do I stop this? I want to keep my email stored on Cox's server incase
my hard drive ever fails.

Joel said:I have the same problem, I go to Tools, Accounts, then Advanced. I have
checked leave a copy of message on server. However the e-mails get
deleted
from the server right away. this recently started happening and I have no
idea why.
