Guest Noremac Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 the inbox in two of my email servers seems to empty whenever my home computer is connected to the web - until I switch on, I can access and read mail in the inboxes from other computers and even forward it (to my third, safe, address). This third address has never been used by outlookm the other two have. Any ideas? I have scanned for viruses and uninstalled and re-installed my McAfee security suite AND deleted all email account details from OE but to no avail.

Make sure in "View/Current View" you have "Show All Messages" selected rather than "Hide Read Messages" or OE will "steal" all messages after you've viewed them once.

In OE, click Tools, Accounts, Mail tab, click an account, click Properties. Click Advanced tab, select "Leave a copy of messages on server". But if you removed the accounts, OE can't be removing the messages. Maybe Thunderbird, or another program.. I suspect the default in any program would be to remove the mail from the server. -- Joe =o)
