Hi all
Just would appreciate an explanation.
I'd thought that if I downloaded emails onto one computer and permanently deleted or filed them as appropriate, the same emails wouldn't then download onto my other PC when I next used it ... but they do. Why, please?
If you use pop and when setting up your email client, if tick a box or something like that which says leave a message on the server, then when you delete the message from your pc it gets deleted on your pc but still resides on server. So when you set a new email client on a new pc it downloads all messages that wasn't downloaded on the new pc. Because the old messages are still there, they get downloaded too. To avoid that try to find if your current client leaves a message on the server and disabling it won't give you this problem any more. Thanks, fourth-monkey
Thanks fourth-monkey, in future I won't need to wade through 749 duplicate emails! Am very grateful. Linda CareersPartnershipUK
The best way to set up your email (provider limitations permitting) is IMAP, this allows for synchronising between the email accounts and any sub folders, changes on one PC will be replicated to the others. Try to avoid POP if possible, it's an old and less reliable protocol for mail delivery. If you cannot have IMAP from your current provider and you still want to have e- mail properly synchronised across your PCs, then condiser getting a hosted exchange account, this will provide business class e-mail that will be able to handle more advcanced features such as secure mail and calander sync, extremely cheap as well, worth considering since if you don't leave copies of your mails on the server, then a crash could potentially leave you without any e-mail history!! Most of the exchange accounts we have are 25gigs so you almost never have to delete anything... ever!  Thanks, Remotetechs
