Weird Forwarding Behavior

I recently set up a Live custom domain, and wanted to switch over from my
Comcast e-mail address. As I transition, however, I want to keep receiving
my Comcast mail. So I set up Comcast to forward all of my mail to my new
Live address, and set Live to automatically sort those messages into a
folder.

Sounds great, but I usually receive 50+ messages per day to the Comcast
address, and since I set up the forward, I've received less than 10 per day.
First I checked the Live junk folder, which was empty; then I checked
Comcast webmail - it hasn't received any messages since I set up the
forward, so presumably it's forwarding them all. Finally, I sent an e-mail
to my Comcast account from another address - it arrived immediately to my
Live account and was sorted to the Comcast folder. So it appears to be
working.

Where is the rest of my e-mail going? I hate to think what important things
are getting lost!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Weird Forwarding Behavior

Make sure you have the "Leave a copy on the server" checked so you can check
back every day to make sure all messages are coming through.

Can that be done with a forwarding action? I don't think so. At least,
forwarding from my 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' email account always removed the email
from the Yahoo! mailbox.

Re: Weird Forwarding Behavior

It works on my Comcast account, but then there is a place to set it when I
log in to my Comcast Webmail account. Guess I should have mentioned that in
my original post. DUH! I can't say for certain if everyone has that
though.
