I use OE6 but I can't see Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced
button or anything else for that matter. Yet, I seem to recall that at some
stage I had an option to leave messages on the server. Where has this option
disappeared to?

Could my ISP have disabled/deleted this option without my knowledge via
so-called "updates"?!

I know stranger things have happened and are happening everyday but...

I think I know leaving messages on the server is possible in web-mail but is
it still possible when using OE6? If so this will be news to me.

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

On one machine, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the server
does not get clogged up.

At the risk of sounding like an inexperienced idiot, here goes:

I have two computers and one cable modem and multi-port router.

I've never considered connecting both computers to the router at the same
time.

Here's my question: If I connect both computers at the same time - and
if both are turned on, how will my incoming e-mail be routed? Will all
e-mails go to the inboxes of both computers? If not, what happens?

Or, am I better off connecting only one computer at a time to the router?
Or, is it ok to connect both {live} at the same time?

Thanks - james

At the top of your OE window, do you see the Menu Bar? File, Edit, View,
Tools, etc?

Click on: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a
copy of messages on the server.

I got it. The Advanced TAB. And all the time I was looking for an Advanced
button on the General Tab.

My brain must have stopped functioning for a moment. Nothing unusual at my
age.

Thanks.

If your brain never stops functioning, you can't relate to OE. wink
