When deleting email messages on my laptop, they do not delete from my server.
I'm using Windows XP SP2. I know there should be a setting in OE (there was
in the previous versions of IE) to delete messages from server when deleted
locally, but that option (for some reason), is not available to me in IE 6.0.

Can anyone help? It's driving me nuts because I have to go into my
Mindspring account to manually delete messages.

Thanks!

OE will remove mail from the POP server unless instructed to do otherwise,
in the settings at toolsaccountsyour accountpropertiesadvanced.
Set a number of days or your mail box will fill up.

Hi, Steve. Thanks for the response. When I double checked my settings in OE,
I realized there is an option to delete from server when deleted locally. I
had that option checked, but that's where the problem is coming in. Even
though that box is checked, messages are NOT being deleted from the server
when deleted locally.

Did you notice that the option says when deleted from the DELETED ITEMS
folder. You must delete the message from the Inbox, or whatever folder
first. Then go the Deleted Items folder and delete it there a second
time. Then do a Send and Receive. Only at that point does OE delete it
from the server.

It's a POP account.

You have still not identified whether you are using an IMAP account, or a
POP3 account. All email is *not* the same, and the best help comes when the
helpers know exactly what you have. Steve (mac) assumes you are using POP3
email because probably 80% of Internet users have POP3 accounts. I am
assuming that you have IMAP email because your description sounds more like
the behavior of IMAP than POP3. So, which is it?

Do you have any reason to leave a copy of messages on the server at all? If
not:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. At the bottom under
Delivery, uncheck /all/ boxes.

I am having the same problem. I set the account up as Pop3. Under the
advanced tab in properties, none of the 3 check boxes in the delivery section
are checked. I even tried checking the 'Remove from server when delted from
Deleted Items' box than deleted the item for the deleted items folder, did a
send/recv and the email is still on the server.

Thanks

Do the messages get downloaded more than once?

I don't believe so.

I was just testing things out and I configured Thunderbird to check the same
account and it did not download any emails til I mailed a new one.

How ever, when I log into the web all emails are still there, including the
new one
