I'm not receiving my mail.

Hey guys, today I set-up my mom's e-mail account on Windows Mail, but my
little sister was logged in so I did it on her account on my Windows Vista
computer.
So I tried to do it again on my mom's account, but now, when I set it up, my
inbox is empty, whereas on my sister's account, there was 182 messages!
Help!

Re: I'm not receiving my mail.

The following will stop this behavior in the future.

On both machines:

Tools > Accounts > Mail > [mail account] > Properties > Advanced > Delivery
Quote:

> Leave a copy of message on server (check)
Tools > Accounts > Mail > [mail account] > Properties > Advanced > Delivery
Quote:

> Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items' (check as
appropriate)

On one machine:

Tools > Accounts > Mail > [mail account] > Properties > Advanced > Delivery
Quote:

> Remove from server after XX days (set as desired).
