| | Windows mail, multiple users Hi, I have reconfigured my email account. I can only receive only if any new mails arrive. I cannot download all old emails. Also if my partner downloads any new emails that arrive (we both use a common id)... They wont come to my inbox (though we leave a copy on the server). I have tried all options but in vain... Any help is appreciated. We use Windows Vista Business; Windows Mail Thanks Vijay S |

| | Re: Windows mail, multiple users If you have two users utilizing the same account on two separate machines, your results are normal. It appears that your ISP's server is only downloading messages that have not already been downloaded. This is a good feature, otherwise you would end up with multiple copies of the same message in your Inbox. IMO, you need to create separate accounts and release the server's message store. If you continue to have the server store your messages, your ISP probably has a limit, so you should have some way to purge the older messages on a regular basis.
