Vista - e-mail not being erased from Comcast when removed from "deleted it

Hi-

I'm using Windows Mail and have set up two Comcast e-mail accounts on my
laptop. On both of my accounts that I use on my laptop, I selected
Tools->accounts->selected my e-mail account->properties->advanced tab, and
then have checked the box "leave a copy of messages on server" and checked
the box "remove from server when deleted from 'deleted items'."

It works for one account, but not the other. Invariably when I turn on my
main computer at home after having read and deleted all of my e-mail from
both accounts on the road, the ones that I have deleted and then deleted
again from my 'deleted items' folder haven't been deleted from Comcast's mail
server for that one account.

Why is it deleting e-mails for one account and not the other?

The computer in question must sync with the Comcast server at least once
after having deleted messages from Deleted Items folder...so try doing one
last Send/Receive before closing Windows Mail on that computer.

PA Bear-

I also hit the send/receive button after I delete the e-mails. That doesn't
seem to work.

Remove the account | Close WinMail | Reboot | Add the account anew & test.
