Thanks Frank, but now I'm confused. I see the deleted messages part, but not
a box for copying messages on the server. Here's what I see:
Contact Attachment Conversion, IMAP, Message Threads, Reply/Forward and
Windows Contacts.
Also, I'm still stuck in receiving that 1 email. it won't let me send or
receive anything while it's still downloading, and it's been stuck like that
for over a day now. How do I get out of it?
Thanks,
Carin
