Re: Windoows Mail erases my yahoo mail when I open Windows Mail

You mean it deletes the messages on the server after it downloads them?

Tools - Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced
[x] Leave a copy of messages on server
[x] Remove from server after xx days

Did you set up Windows Mail to download from your Yahoo account?

Re: Windoows Mail erases my yahoo mail when I open Windows Mail

The same thing happens to me also. I set it up on my laptop and now I have to
get on my LTop to get the mails I need, How can I send them back to yahoo to
get them from my desk top?

Re: Windoows Mail erases my yahoo mail when I open Windows Mail

You can't send them back, unless you want to forward each message
individually. If there are many messages, that would be quite a task!
The key is to know that POP mail clients by default tell the server to
erase successfully downloaded messages, although it is easy to
change that default: Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties,
Advanced, "Leave a copy of messages on server."
