Live Mail POP3 reset

How can INBOX be reset, to allow messages on the server to be downloaded
once again - after they have been read?

I note that under TOOLS|OPTIONS|ADVANCED|MAINT|CLEAN UP there is an option
to reset, but this does not appear to affect POP3 mail accounts.

Likely a file must be deleted, but it is not apparent what file that may be.
In Mozilla products it's the POPSTATE.DAT file.

Hi, dev.

That Clean Up option is only for NEWS messages, not emails.

Once we download an email message from the server, the mail server deletes
it - immediately or almost. UNLESS we go to Tools | ACCOUNTS | <choose the
mail account> | Properties | Advanced, and choose to Leave a copy of message
on server. Note my ALL CAPS emphasis: This is in Tools | ACCOUNTS, not
Tools | OPTIONS.

I don't use Hotmail or Gmail or IMAP, so I don't know if this applies to
those. I know about only POP3.

/R. C. White/ said: Yes, the "leave on server" option has been chosen. The quest is to find
the file responsible for marking POP3 mail as read, so it can be deleted
- to allow messages to be downloaded once again. Not a crisis, but handy.
