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

Gary,

What about my windows messenger contacts on my old computer?

I have safely got them all on my new computer but still have them on my old
one. How do I delete all these from my old one? Is it the same way as the
accounts?

Evelyn
