| | download messages from mail server to multiple computers Sometimes I use my desktop to retrieve email from my mail server. Sometimes I use my laptop. How can I get each message to download to each computer? I don't want multiple copies of an email on either computer--just one copy on each. |

| | Re: download messages from mail server to multiple computers Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced, enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." Also select one or both of the two associated 'remove' options. Do this on both computers. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Greg Nelson" <gregnelson0@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:49F6F78D-1CB1-464C-A5F2-F6E93D52CC67@xxxxxx Quote: > Sometimes I use my desktop to retrieve email from my mail server.

| | Re: download messages from mail server to multiple computers My Windows Mail client on my laptop does not have a "Leave a copy of messages on server" option nor any "Remove" option on the Tools->Accounts->Properties->Advanced tab. (I'm using IMAP for download. My desktop uses POP3.)

| | Re: download messages from mail server to multiple computers Sorry, unless you specify otherwise, it is assumed we are discussing standard POP accounts. I don't use IMAP, so am not very acquainted with it. I don't see how you can use IMAP and POP on the same account. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Greg Nelson" <gregnelson0@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:16624E89-788A-49AD-A3B3-B9140419BF5D@xxxxxx Quote: > My Windows Mail client on my laptop does not have a "Leave a copy of > messages on server" option nor any "Remove" option on the > Tools->Accounts->Properties->Advanced tab.
