| | Re: 'Leave mail on server' cannot function in Vista Windows Mail Are you certain you have enabled that setting in Windows Mail? Go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced, enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." That setting must be enabled on both computers. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "MAX-007" <max007mail-bank2@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uHhStI7hJHA.2516@xxxxxx Quote: > My main mail client is my office XP system, I also receive mail in home.

| | Re: 'Leave mail on server' cannot function in Vista Windows Mail I'm sure that setting is enable. Due to the vista account is inport from the XP outlook express, and I also double check that. (the XP outlook express work fine that leave mail on server function, but vista cannot. Is it the Vista Windows Mail BUG!) I test it by sending a mail from my company webmail to myself email account, I see that mail appear in my mail server with webmail client. Then I use Vista Windows Mail that already emable the 'Leave mail on server' setting. After the Vista Windows Mail recevied the mail. I using webmail to check the server again, then the mail goen!.

| | Re: 'Leave mail on server' cannot function in Vista Windows Mail Hi, I discovered it is a bug, or beter on purpose, not a option in Windows Mail. So all your email will stay on the server.... and at your Iphone.... MS chat told me that leave/remove mail from server was an option in outlook 2003.... well I can not find it.... Anybody did?

| | Re: 'Leave mail on server' cannot function in Vista Windows Mail If you have a POP email account, then you can probably leave the messages on the server, if your account's server permits it. IMAP accounts do it by design.

| | Re: 'Leave mail on server' cannot function in Vista Windows Mail See my other post made a few minutes ago.
