Vista - Double messages

We have 2 computers, mine and my husbands, we can share files with each
computer. We have one email account because he does not use email. However
the emails show up on both computers and we do not want them on his. If he
does open the email and deletes them then I cannot read them on my computer
because they are gone. If i read and delete on my computer they remain on
his and I have to go clean his up every couple of days. How can we get
emails on just my computer?

Hello Phyllis,

I suppose that if he does not need email, then you can just delete the email account on his computer for it to not receive or send emails anymore from that account.

If you would prefer to keep the email account on his computer, then in Windows Mail on both computers, Tools, Accounts, select email account, click on Properties, Advanced tab you can:

1. Check "Leave a copy of messages on server"
2. Adjust the "Remove from server after xx days" and "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Item' " to how long and when to delete the messages.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
