Re: Deleting mail from one computer but keeping it on a new one.

Thanks for your reply t-4-2,

I am rather new at this so bear with me.

I have just two questions:

If I delete all 3 accounts on my old computer, does it delete all 3 on the
new one as well and from the server completely?

If that is the way to do it, can you tell me how I delete all 3 accounts on
the old computer please.

Evelyn
