Windows Live Mail does not keep e-mails on pop3 server

My problem is that WLM does not keep a copy of my mails on my pop3 server,
even checking the box "keep a copy on server" of advanced account options.
Could you help me ? All of my e-mails are always deleted!

Re: Windows Live Mail does not keep e-mails on pop3 server

Some mail providers don't honor that setting.
Who is the mail provider?

Re: Windows Live Mail does not keep e-mails on pop3 server

Are you perhaps using Gmail? They don't do POP3 the normal way.

There is a setting on the server to archive downloaded mails.

But if you want to download the same messages to multiple PC, you need
to go IMAP.

Gmail does have a workaround for that issue:
