Windows mail syncronization with other mail server
I recently configured windows mail and configured it for synconization with
t-online mailserver. Standard configuration was that the mails on the other mailserver will be deleted after 5 days. However, all incoming mails on my t-online mailserver have been deleted immediately after they were transfered to windows mail. Questions: 1. who is responsible for that? 2. How can I get the mails back to my t-online mailserver? |

Windows mail syncronization with other mail server
Is there another computer or device (smartphone?) checking that same
mail account? Other than that, I don't know what might cause that. Try unchecking the 'delete after 5 days' setting. Does that make a difference? Unless your provider also offers the IMAP protocol, there is no easy way to move mail back to the server with a POP account. You'd have to forward each email back to yourself.

Windows mail syncronization with other mail server
Thanks for having answered. I check the same mail account with outlook but on
the same device. Outlook I configured long time ago as such that all messages should remain on the origin server. It never happened that messages would have been deleted earlier. I changed the configuration on windows mail into keeping stored all messages on the origin server. It works now but that does not solve the problem of the earlier deleted messages. As I see it the standard configuration simply did not keep what it was promising. "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Is there another computer or device (smartphone?) checking that same mail account?

Windows mail syncronization with other mail server
Good to hear that no more messages are being deleted after disabling
the 'delete after 5 days' setting. I've never used that setting, so I don’t know how reliable it is. All development on Windows Mail was stopped abruptly in July 2006, so a number of bugs remain. Microsoft recommends upgrading to the replacement program, Windows Live Mail. The latest version of that program is available he http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-beta It will automatically import all your Windows Mail data.

Thanks. The package including Live Mail seems to be a Beta Version. Does it
mean that it is not yet a tested version? "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Good to hear that no more messages are being deleted after disabling the 'delete after 5 days' setting.

Windows mail syncronization with other mail server
It's an improved beta version, meaning fewer bugs than the previous beta
version. However, I like it better than the previous released version, and I use it for all my email and newsgroups. You can run Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail simultaneously (as I do) for a lengthy trial to compare the two.
