Hi,

I recently tried setting up the Webmail account for my university on OE. My
uni supports it, and gave me the proper settings to use (account type and so
on). I set it up successfully, and its able to check the email in the
account perfectly.

HOWEVER, the problem is that it didn't create any new Account folder on the
folders window (the left hand pane). So, as a result, I can't view/read/send
mail at all! All I can do is check the account in the Send/Receive box.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks a million,
Carmen

So what is the account type?
If it is pop3, the account will use the existing local OE folders (Inbox,
Sent Items, .......).

If you open a new message window, is there a From field?
If you have more than one account setup, there will be a From field.
Do you have more than one account setup?

If OE checks the mail, do you have mail to download?

Hi,

Why, yes, it is POP3. So I just checked it and I saw a new message (junk,
of course) directed from that account in the Local inbox folder.

However, is there a way I can download the messages from my Webmail account
into OE, and change sychro settings the way I would with my Hotmail account?

Thanks again,

OE can check for message every XX minutes.

I am not familiar with the Hotmail settings.

You can create a 'university' folder and make a message rule to move the
incoming 'university' messages to the 'university' folder.

Do you know if there is a way for me to download the messages off my
university's mail server into OE though? I haven't been able to find the
command myself.

If you do a Send and Receive, is the 'university' account checked?

Are you wanting messages from the Webmail inbox only or do you also want to
download the Web sent items?

Yes, it is. Like I said, it will download new messages, but it won't
download earlier messages already in my inbox and sent items folders (on the
uni account), and as such the folders appear empty on OE (unless I get a new
message checked thru OE). And thats what I'm wondering about, how to
download those items, as would happen automatically in a Hotmail account thru
OE.

Is your OE Inbox view set to Show all messages?

It seems that OE is not downloading messages that you have already read from
your uni account.
Try forwarding the messages to yourself.
OE is not going to be able to access your uni sent items folder. See if you
can forward those to yourself.

OE will only download new messages found in your inbox on the webmail page,
not Sent Items. POP3 mail (uni's mail) and HTTP/WebDAV mail (Hotmail) work
differently, Carmen.

Hi,

First of all, let me apologise for my late replies; I think I must have
accidently un-ticed the "Notify me of replies" box for this forum.

Anyway, thanks for your help; forwarding the messages worked like a charm.
It seemed the reason why I couldn't download stuff already on my uni's
account is because they wouldn't leave older messages on thier server, for
whatever reason.

Thanks again for all your assistance; I can't thank you enough!

Cheers!
