Automatic deleation of e-mail

When I use my windows mail... as soon as I log on and view my mail, it is no
longer accessible when I log onto the original domain account? (I have Vista
here at work and I need to be able to access my messages at home. I can't
because it was deleated as soon as it was opened at work)

You need to set *both* machines to leave a copy of your messages on the
server, the setting is on the Advanced tab of WM

Set *one* of the machines to remove from server after a reasonable number of
days, to avoid your ISP mail box from filling up.
Tools>accounts>select account>properties>advanced tab
Any problems come back to this thread.

In Windows Mail, click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account,
then Properties, then Advanced. If there if no check mark in the box before
Leave a copy of messages on server, click on that box and then Apply.
It's a good idea to set one of your computers to eventually delete the
messages from the server, to keep it from running out of space for your
messages and refusing to accept more. Click on OK and then Close.
