Problems with Windows Mail

I am finding that emails I receive are being deleted if I do not opened them
within 24 hours of receiving them.

I know that the emails are being lost because I have one email account that
is shared with a friend, who is on Outlook, and they are able to view the
emails after 24 hours.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Kind regards, Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,

Check this setting from Windows Mail main screen:
1. Click Tools -> Accounts
2. Select the email account for this and click Properties
3. Click Advanced tab
4. Look under "Leave a copy of messages on server"
A) Adjust the settings to what you want
5. Click OK

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Problems with Windows Mail

Half my email end sup in the SPAM folder, I know I am kind of boring, but there has to be a way I can read my email without searching through the spam folder.

Re: Problems with Windows Mail

Tools, Junk E-mail Options, Safe Senders, select "Also trust
e-mail from..."
If any frequent senders are not in your Contacts, be sure to
add them to the Safe Senders list. Also scan the Blocked Senders
list periodically to ensure that desired senders were not
inadvertently added to that list. It may also help to set the
Junk filter level at Low.

Re: Problems with Windows Mail

I actually set the junk mail filter to "no filtering" and it doesn't make any difference.

Re: Problems with Windows Mail

For continuity, please quote the message you are responding to.
I answer over 100 messages per day, which makes it hard to
remember exactly what we covered before.

Did you check the Blocked Senders list to make sure it doesn't
have any of your desired correspondents? The Blocked Senders
list overrides everything else.

Make sure your antivirus software doesn't have an anti-spam
function, which can mess up Windows Mail.
